Encouraged by my daughter, Esther, I helped out running a stall at the Rufford Christmas Fayre at Rufford Country Park. The stall was a mixture of jewellery, cards and photographs. Also assisting us was Esther's friend, Harriet, who had also made a number of jewellery items.
At one stage we were visited by the Mayor and Mayoress who showed a keen interest in all we had produced but, sadl, this did not stretch to a financial investment in our goods. We were also visited by Robin Hood, both male and female, and Friar Tuck.
One thing we could not control was the weather. When we arrived, the rain was constant. As we went through the morning it persisted and was accompanied by some bouts of wind, making life difficult for stall-holders. You can see from this shot how, even when the sun shone, the after-effects of the rain were making life uncomfortable for us.
Because of the weather, attendance was very low, but the experience was good and we learnt many lessons for the next time.
