Gee Up!

Hello again, What is all this then?

Aha! Well, “Gee up!” pronounced as it sounds, used to be a way to get people to “Get a move on!” also for horses too as I recall, I don’t hear it much these days, but I smiled when I was cleaning this, a small jockey with his winnings, yes 10 thousand Guineas!

So, why not ride over to Bibury this Sunday and see what we have on offer? Open from 10am to 4pm, with refreshments, , or as I say “Coffee and Cakes!”  from around noon. 

See you there? Regards, Andy.

10 thousand Guinneas

 

Bright Idea?

Hello all!

Several years ago a brass wall sconce was bought, and has sat at home near the fire ever since. Last weekend, I made a few candles from scraps of beekeeping beeswax foundation, and here they are, sitting alight. Fun! Hope you like it, the room smells of the wax now, and I will make more!

Should you wish to join us this Sunday at Bibury Antiques Fair, please do, but I can’t promise good weather, but there will be tea, coffee, cakes etc served for you from around noon, if dry, outside in the sun! More substantial meals can be bought locally, at the tea room, pub, or hotel.

Thanks, Andy.
