Having had a good Saturday for both buying and selling and with the weather looking bad for Sunday we decided to pack up early and move the van of the show ground before 8 o clock and have a wander around till about 10.30 then go home, not wanting to bring the glass home we gave it away, it was at this point we realised the other door glass was missing, yes it had been stolen from the stall! No great loss to us as we did not want it but there was no way we were going to bin it when it could help someone out. Well Mr or Mrs thief had you made the effort to enquire about the glass we could of probably persuaded you to take the lot for free.
Good afternoon all.
Shame that a petty criminal should spoil the event for someone, I felt that the event had much of its old 'buzz' with camaraderie amongst the traders very evident. I was particularly grateful to Jon Milne of this parish who transported my youngest son and five very heavy wheels to the furthest extremity of Red field in his estate car.
Oddly most of my enquiries were from non A7 folk but many I couldn't answer due to my inability to speak any language other than English (and many would argue that I'm not particulary proficient in that).
Regards from the creative county - Staffordshire.
