Cancelled Motcombe School Event

I had to make a decision this morning about not attending a fair I had booked some months ago. It's difficult when you have spent a lot of time making displays to present the jewellery you have spent a lot of time making only to go along to a fair and get it wrecked by the weather. Last year I bought a gazebo which took a battering in the high winds but gave me some protection against the elements. Especially as we have such wonderful summers here in Britain!!! Anyway, I was planning on attending this school fete today but didn't find out that it wasn't in the school hall until this week when I made further enquiries. I had it in my head that it was inside for some reason, I think because I had attended fetes there before (not as a seller) and they were in the hall and the corridors. They were limited on space outside as well and were only allocating me table size space so my 10 foot gazebo was out too. Soooooo... this morning I had to make the difficult decision not to go and I feel a bit bad because I feel I have let them down. It was a pay on the day and they have reserved me a table but at the end of the day my table would really have been ruined. By the way, I have trees with tree preservation orders on in my garden and I've noticed this morning that a huge branch has snapped off and is hanging down towards my fence! This happened in the night with all the gales. We have not had flooding here fortunately but I have watched on tv the devastation that the poor people in Yorkshire have had over night. Anyway, I hope the fair goes well for them and they raise some funds for the school and if you were hoping to come along to see me then I'm sorry I couldn't make it. Hope everyone has a good weekend and fingers crossed no more damage to peoples homes. x
