Day 5 at the Bakewell Easter Fair, had to move to a different table from today so new set up in a much smaller space! Unfortunately the weather has not been great as was yesterday so sales have been slow. Tomorrow, Saturday should be better fingers crossed!

Sorry to say Derbyshire weather is doing its worst! At the moment we are forecast light and heavy snow over the next couple of days so the Craft Fair organiser will be ringing at 7.00 am tomorrow to let me know if its still going ahead. Fingers crossed its ok if not Monday and Tuesday look better so may still get a couple of days.
