Woolfest was wonderful! And Stevan has been let loose from the naughty corner. It was so lovely to meet so many lovely folk. And the best news from Woolfest is that one of Isaac's sheep, which was entered into the sheep auction, reached a phenomenal price in the auction, raising a great £50 for charity. I'm sorry I didn't take any photographs of everything going on, but I hardly left my stand. I didn't even get to all the stalls at the show, but I did buy something - Kim Hargreave's Nectar. My reward for working so hard for Woolfest is to knit Joy from Nectar.
I know Stevan showed you one picture, but here are a couple more. First of all, the other side of the stand which didn't show up in the last picture:

The cottage we stayed in for the weekend was idyllic (and by the way if you fancy a good Indian takeaway when you're next at Woolfest I can highly recommend The Spice Club Indian Restaurant. Fantastic value and lovely food.). It was so peaceful and a lovely respite to come back to in the evening after a hard day at the show. Millie at The Howe, Mosser, couldn't havve been more welcoming.
And on Saturday, when energy was almost all gone, it was time to pack up and go home. Once we'd packed up Mungo (with a lot less than he'd had going down), the stand looked as if we'd never been there, and looked ready to receive it's next lot of animal occupants at the next animal auction.
Next year's Woolfest is due to be held on the 25th and 26th June 2010. So we'll be ready to do it all again then, when hopefully I'll be reoccupying stand 155. Especially if I have the great assistants that I had this year (A great big huge "Thank you" to Stella and Jacqui), and if Chris promises another Malteser Chocolate Cake:

I will put the date in the calender for next year.. maybe, with a bit of planning there could be a chance.
Is any of the sheep left?
