It's been another hot day. What to do when it's too hot to work in the garden or go for a walk? Have a day out, visit an event indoors. I went to Doncaster Racecourse where they had a Crafting Live event. I was there in 2023 and 2024. Feels like going home now, my third time.
Once again I saw the Guest Manager, we chatted last time I was here. Today he didn't have his sparkly suit on, he said it is far too hot. He was wearing a white t-shirt and tight fitting cycling shorts. I told him he would look good in anything, he said I am his favourite visitor today. I love a bit of banter. Today I didn't have my fleece and trousers on, I was wearing a flared skirt and a loose fitting matching top. I should have had another photo taken but he was busy dashing about.
I realised that I had left my bottle of water in the car. Never mind, there are lots of watering stations throughout the exhibition. I didn't fancy walking around with a plastic cup of water though so I went to the food hall to buy a drink in a bottle. I asked the young lady behind the counter for a bottle of orange Fanta. She put it on the counter and said the price is £4. I thought that was a bit steep but oh well, never mind. I opened my purse to hand her a £5 note. She said she can't take it, card only. I said I don't have a card. I explained that it was the bottle I wanted so I can sip it throughout the day. She said they have bottled water in the fridge as well. I asked is that £4. She reached for one and handed it to me. She said, you can have it for nothing. How kind is that.
I didn't take many photos today. It was very busy.
I spotted a rack of leaflets near the door. I always look through them when I see them, searching for information about what's on in the area. This was a waste of time. All the leaflets were two years out of date. I have noticed that motorway service areas no longer have leaflets. I suppose everyone gets the information from their smart phone these days.
I was browsing the fabrics. This is quite unusual. Here is a link to Thimbles fabric shop in Leicester.
I was back home by 5pm.
This is what I bought, felt. They sell this in Thimbles but they didn't bring any with them. I found this on another stall. A lady from Glasgow was selling it. £5 for a pack of ten pieces. Or three packs for £12. I couldn't decide on which colours so I bought three packs. 
Oh WOW, look what I've just discovered. The sun is shining through the window and is reflecting off the tiny mirrors in the fabric. How cute is that. I've got spots in front of my eyes. 😎
Anyway, I'm running out of time so I'll wrap this up. Billy dog has been walked. Cats are in for the night. Hedgehogs food is out, and I'm going to have a glass of wine.
Have a great Sunday. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona
