Yesterday we had a stall at the Dickensian Fayre in Polegate. Quite a lively affair as it turns out. I didn't know there were that many people in Polegate. The queue for Santa reached along from the Council Offices (where we had our stall) to the Railway Crossing. There was a choir, mini train rides for the kids, Roasted Chestnuts and Morris Dancers. We were asked to dress in Dickensian Costume but not many of us did, sadly. We looked a right load of twits I have to say, but the Bonnet and Cape suited Angie. Liz was not too impressed with her lace cap. It was bitterky cold and Angie gave up after a while and went back to open up the shop again. Liz and I braved it, along with her grandchildren Chloe and Emily, but after they went I was so cold my fingers turned white so I must admit I didn;t see it through to the end.

here are some of the pictures:

As I walked down the garden path yesterday this little toadstool (or mushroom) caught my eye. It had sucjh a pretty pattern on it and I have never seen one like it before. It stood all alone, ahhhhh, by the side of the path so I rushed in to get my camera before it disappeared.

Certainly is. They are like buses. None then 2 come along at once.

This one is in September - 15th and 16th 2012 to be exact. It will be at The High Beech Hotel in St Leonards, East Sussex. This is a nice hotel and is being redecorated at present. They have a new manageress and chef and they seem to be trying to upgrade the hotel. There is plenty of parking at the front of the hotel and the cropping room is a large room with a tea/coffee station so that you can get hot drinks (and squash) all day.

It will run from 10am to 10pm on Saturday and 10am to 5pm on Sunday. If the ladies who teach are willing we will have some optional classes for you too.

The hotel will provide a light lunch on Saturday, something like Lasagne and salad and a dessert and Roast Beef or Pork on Sunday with dessert and a 3 course meal on Saturday Evening.

The cost for this weeknd will be £75.00 per person, but you don't have to pay until the end of July next year, so plenty of time to save up.

The class was quickfire class, held in an hour and was aimed at using lots of layers and stickers.

If you like the look of this layout, I think that Jill may have a couple of page kits left. I bet you have got some bright and breezy summer photos to scrap.
