So, Cottenham is over for another year.  It was a great show, and I met lots of lovely people, and managed to catch up with several friends.  It was also lovely to see someone I have known for nearly thirty years, but with whom I had lost touch.  She has moved to that part of the world, so a reunion is already planned for next year!  The weather surpassed itself, in spite of my prediction!  It was sunny and mild, but unfortunately I didn’t see much of it as I was behind the counter for almost the whole time.

Spring was showing its face too.  This is the view from the front of the venue, and behind the cars is a little pond.  Crocus and Daffodil are abundantly planted, and to our delight all were showing their colour.  Today is a day for resting, but next Saturday is another textile show, this time further south at Selsey near Chichester.  In the next few days we must put in a couple of emergency orders and get the stock ready for another display.  Fortunately I have no emergency dyeing as I prepared beforehand and that stock was safely left at home.

Thanks for coming to see us, everyone.  We are looking forward to catching up with you again soon – and who knows where!
