| We arrived yesterday at The Wyche Inn Malvern --this is the view from our bedroom.... |
 |
| we could see for miles and miles--The Wyche Inn is the highest pub in Worcestershire--you can see the showground in the distance.... |
 |
| we woke this morning to find a change in the weather----and couldn't see a hand in front of us! After a beautiful full English breakfast we went back to the showground-and found it all nice and dry in the marquee..the rian gave over by lunchtime and it was a lovely day after. |
 |
| All you can see is fields of caravans when you arrive there. |
 |
| some of the old steamers--I love the sound and smell of the steam engines... |
 |
| We had been allocated a great space in the marquee--in the corner next to the entrance--so I didn't get in the way of any other exhibitors when I was doing the demos and chatting with people! |
 |
| lots of space to hang loads of paintings and display the various art materials and cards I sell. |
 |
| No I haven't bought a calf---the huge toy calf in the background is going to be in a display of dairy stuff tomorrow.He has been stuck upstairs in my spare room for years..after chatting to some friends from Leominster Vintage club while at Shobdon food and drink festival they mentioned they needed a calf--so I'm able to help them put! |
 |
| Some more friends from Leominster Vintage club called by as well today--Sybila and John have been to a few workshops after seeing do my demo at their club meeting a couple of years ago.Sybila had her grandson Oscar with her on holiday --he would like to do a painting workshop sometime but today he had a go at encaustic art.They were all amazed at how quickly he created a wonderful picture.He had all sorts of faces and animals in it---and we all had fun spotting them all! |
 |
| Sybila had a go at it as well---and they have gone home with a full encaustic kit so they will have loads of fun creating more paintings! Sybila had some great things appear in her painting--a fantastic lizard, a witches face and a sheep if I remember right! |
 |
| some lovely old cars on display... |
 |
| this strange contraption on the back of the lorry is something else--it gives out a huge explosive bang---that rebounds off the hills around for what seems like minutes--its quite something--I hope I have got it on video-and will have a go at loading it onto YouTube later--- |
 |
| our friend Dave Bytheway was here with his chainsaw wood carvings---he is a very talented guy.. |
 |
| this was going on a few yards away from the marquee--and made me feel quite ill to watch---2 of them even put hoods over their head while they were on top of the wheels--scary stuff. |
 |
| I was painting this painting today as a demo--was about to add an oil wash to it when a lady asked if she could buy it...so we have given it a coat of varnish ready for her to pick it up tomorrow..its a Christmas pressie for her hubby, and she knows he will like it because he told her.They had watched it being created from over the over side of the marquee!Tomorrow will be even busier than today if previous years are anything to go by.Bills been walkabout today meeting up with old friends and having a mooch about the displays--tomorrow he will need to stay nearby in case I get rushed off my feet! |
