Busy Times Again...Demos,Workshops and Fairs...

We were treated to a beautiful sunset over the town when we were packing up from the market on Wednesday..

beautiful

Friday night we had a longish journey to Weston Under Redcastle to do a demo  for the local villagers...they were a lovely bunch of folk and we had a right laugh with them....lots of interest in the workshops as well and I think we will be meeting some of them again.... thanks to Sharleen for organising it !

Bill spotted the lovely cakes ---and yes--they did taste as good as they looked!

Silvia's  raffle ticket was drawn first and she chose the Reeds In The Breeze painting and Chris won the Waterfall painting.. it was late when we got back to Ludlow,, luckily the brushes and paint etc had been got ready to load onto Bunty the van before we had left so all we had to do when we got up on Saturday was load the boxes ...

the calm before the storm... 14 students about to descend upon us....

the time flew by,,,,and in no time at all we had some stunning paintings going on.. they ranged from tranquil and warm

dark and mysterious..

to vibrant and dramatic

Bev got down to signing her painting lol.....

10  out of the 14 artists were first timers-though you wouldn't know it from the results.....and they came from far and wide---Clacton on Sea, Derby,Leminton Spa, Uttoxeter, Telford....

well done girls...

lovely results..

stunning...

beautiful! Well done everyone!

the room where we have the workshops was very festive with the Christmas tree up and loads of Santa's around---getting right in the mood for Christmas now...

after a hectic day yesterday..and a late night last night we were up early this morning to set up on the Medieval Fair..and we had our usual next door neighbours Dave Bytheway and Margret by us.Dave does chainsaw carvings and he had some stunning pieces with him today...there wasn't a little owl to be seen when it came to packing up this evening.. they proved very popular!

Bill looked the part in his outfit....

and moi....

a quieter week for me this week...got a class tomorrow, market Wednesday and I'm off for a renal scan on Friday..After seeing the rhumatologist at Hereford Hospital and having some blood tests done while there, the tests revealed another problem ..this time with my kidneys...so that has to be investigated..watch this space....
