We had a mixed weekend at Alvecote, Friday was busy and people were putting their hands in their pockets and spending. The Hobbins clan came visiting on Friday, it was great to see them again and they were popular with our fellow traders as they were spending money!!
Saturday and Sunday were fairly quiet, the weather wasn't good, we packed up early on Sunday because of the rain and the few people that were about were browsers not buyers. Monday saw a turn around both with the weather and the trade. All in all it was a good weekend, great to catch up with traders we already knew and even met a new couple.
We stayed at Alvecote on Tuesday and got some tidying and cleaning done, then moved down to Fazeley on Wednesday. Ray had a hospital appointment on Thursday, which would have been a smashing day for travelling. When he got back we went and bought some plants for my flower displays, I've got some home grown seedlings but they are a bit small.
Today we moved onwards to Rugeley, a fairly long day considering the weather but the forecast is no better for the next couple of days and we needed to get here so Ray can get to the hospital on Monday and we can reach Stone by Wednesday. So we are here until Tuesday morning and then we will be heading for Stone.
Photos may be a bit few and far between, I'm not the most prolific photographer anyway but now I'm on the tiller most of the time I don't get the opportunity to use the camera. I haven't mastered the knack of tiller in one hand and camera in the other!
