At this time of year I would normally be very busy almost every weekend attending various summer events and country fairs.  There is an awful lot of work that goes on behind the scenes to get ready for these events from thinking about how best to display everything, to getting enough stock printed, mounted and framed.  Then everything has to be priced, wrapped in protective wrapping and packed ready to go.  It usually takes me a couple of hours to set up my stand and no matter how well I think I've prepared I usually find that I've forgotten something - my flask or a charging cable. Thankfully my lovely husband is often able to come to my rescue.  

Although they are hard work I am missing my events and not just for the income they bring in.  I miss the social side of it too - the friendly banter with fellow stall holders and organisers and meeting my lovely customers. Explaining how something has been made and why and having a little chat even if they don't buy anything. I really love listening to ladies laugh at my funny greetings cards as they browse through them.  

I look forward to the day that I am able to take part in events again but for the moment I am staying very cautious. Keep safe everyone!
