Day 1 of Shobdon Food And Drink Festival

I cant believe its come round again already--Shobdon Food and Drink Festival-----its the 7th year and we have done every one of them! This is my favorite view---the avenue of trees leading up to the venue!Bob the little artist bear is sitting in his usual place in the van window admiring the view!
just before the avenue is the pond---the pond is always green-covered in duckweed! When the sun shines on the water it creates a stunning picture! Im going to get round to painting soon!
Just about set up and ready for action here!
Our lovely friend Elaine (otherwise known as Jones The Bead) who creates the most beautiful beaded necklaces,earrings and all manner of beautiful things ,had her usual place next to us--and she had a lovely suprise for me---Pimms----yumm yummm! So me and Jonsey had lots of laughs all day while enjoying the refreshing hic hic fruity drink! Some interesting encaustic art was produced afterwards!
Elaines stall---must get some close ups of some of the beautiful things she makes tomorrow---the knitted cakes are new--and just brilliant!
here he is--our most regular customer at Shobdon---ZAK!!! He has come to do the encaustic art every year--and its lovely to see him each year with his family! He has grown even more this year....he chose to use the black card this year--he had some lovely results.....
Zak's sister Emily--I didnt reconise her at all-she has really grown up--but she still loved having a go at the encaustic art.....and created a lovely pink/purple painting with a few little spooky faces in it! Looks like blogger is playing up--- It will not let me put on any more pictures--so will try to morrow to put the photo of Emily's friend Bethan on...
