Kinver Show

We were up early yesterday morning to go to Kinver Country Fair,,,they gave us a lovely double gazebo with loads of room to set up everything nicely...it only took us 2 hours to get it all sorted which is a record for us!



and some space for folk to come in and speak to us too...it was non-stop all day long with interest in the paintings and workshops..met some lovely interesting people too! Im looking forward to seeing a lot of them in my workshops in the future!
We were able to use one end for encaustic demos and the other end for painting in oils..

plenty of room to hang the big paintings!


The food marquee was next to us....and Bill quite fancied a pie for his dinner LOL...

Chloe had a go at encaustic art...and created a lovely picture with all sorts of little creatures in it! Well done Chloe
I painted this large Stormy Poppies while I was there-and a lovely couple bought it wet off the easel..I do hope they got it home safely!

As we set off for home we saw a huge black plume of smoke in the distance--turns out it was a huge recycling plant on fire in Kidderminster....

Well that pint is very well deserved--we didn't stop all day long...so we called at The Running Horse, Callow Hill, Nr Bewdley..As it was Fathers day they were doing a special offer of having the third course free...how could we resist?


I had the chicken satay and Bill had the garlic mushrooms and Stilton...

Bills starter looked and smelt lovely---didn't leave me any to taste though!

The main course was -well--spectacular to say the least--roast rib of beef-slow cooked with veg......it was delicious and came out on the bone--the meat fell off and melted in your mouth-the fresh veg were cooked to perfection and  the Yorkshire pud was huge--didn't manage to finish it all as wanted to leave room for the pud--
