my day at Court Cupboard

I was all ready to go, when....no keys!!! After 45 minutes of hunting, they turned up where I'd already looked several times, when they wanted to be found!!

I arrived to find a queue and another member just opening up. Luckily I was only ten minutes late.
The gallery had a good day, starting with one of my pint jugs. The afternoon was quiet, but I heard that the town was busy, probably as it was the first day of the Green Man Festival.

The oregano was full of honey and bumble bees (above).

The Walnuts haven't all succumbed to the ravages of the squirrels, unlike much of the unripe hazel nuts, beech mast and acorns.
and just to prove that not everyone visits by car to the gallery...
after a chilly start it must have been a beautiful ride in the sun

day at Hay

A lovely day, good journey both ways....but I don't think two small bowls and a small sheep justified it.
Loss £10, wages Nil.

The recession hits another good date. The town was fairly busy from lunchtime on, but had been full for the previous two days....in previous years everyone did well on this date, which is why I was asked to come on this day.

It was a beautiful day, however, and the Butter Market lived up to its purpose and kept us as cool as butter and cheese should be- we took turns in having a walk in the sun to warm up! It is looking good as its ceiling has been mended and cleaned.

Now to carry on building up stock for this time next month, back in Hay during the Festival
