My next event is this Saturday, 13 June. I'll be at the Moores Valley Steam Gala. It is actually a 2 day event, but I'll only be there for the Saturday. This is what to expect:-

Fun for everyone
As well as frequent passenger trains, you can also enjoy:
Different locomotives in steam each day
Double heading on some services
Demonstration trains pulling our freight wagon fleet and original covered coaches
Full size and miniature traction engines
Classic cars and military vehicles
Bouncy Castles
Trainmaster themed railway play
Craft Stalls
Hot food, sweets, ice creams and hot & cold drinks available

I believe there will be at least 12 craft stalls, and it will be the first time they have included this in their Gala. I'm hoping to meet some new customers, and also that the weather will be fine ! Come along and enjoy a day out.

Times: 10.45 to 5pm

A few snapshots from the indoor Summer Fair at Talbot Heath School yesterday. The weather was not that good, so less attendance than normal. It was a good day though and I met some lovely customers.
Last night, I had a lovely email from one of the girls who had bought a Weird Wonkie from me, this is what she said:

"Dear Julie, I bought one of your Weird Wonkies, Sunny (I love him) from your stand today at Talbot Heath with my mum and my friend and we loved every single one of your toys.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED YOUR TEDDIES !
I think you should make some more."

What love email to receive after a busy day at the event - bless her!
