Poor Show

The day started off well. We arrived bright and early with lots of nice colourful pictures. The set up went very smoothly and we were pleased to get everything nicely lit. I didn't even forget anything this time (I usually forget to pack the Blu Tac, sandwiches or something essential for getting through the day).

So we settled down and waited for the doors to open around 10.30... Then it started to rain. It continued  raining for another two hours. This was the disastrous start to the day no one needed. By 2pm. only a handful of people had come through the door. By this time, it was of course Sunday lunch, leaving us exhibitors to wander around chatting glumly for an hour or so.

The sun finally made an appearance around 3pm, which bought another handful of people out, but it was too late - no sales and a pretty much wasted day. Oh well, at least we had a nice display, even if there was no one there to see it! Hopefully, things will be better for our next visit in a month's time!
