T D H & M F 19 Feb 14

Felicity went over to the venue today, conditions were good, no flooding and parking was okay. It has been a reasonable day here and the forecast for the next couple of days is good, in fact I do not remember the last February that is as mild as this.

Everything on track for a great day.

Tuesday Update - 3 days to go

Peter Clark had to pull out of the fair yesterday on health ground. He will be missed this year as he is regular at the fair. Phoenix Models have stepped into the breach at very short notice, so we are thankful for their help.

Very mixed weather today, but it has had no real effect on the surrounding area. Roads are clear

T D H & M F 2014

Monday 17th February. Felicity's birthday today. We often had snow at this time, but it is so mild there is no chance of snow. Bit of a grey day, drizzle but no real rain. Forecast dry for the next few hours. Roads around Thame no problem, however I still get diverted by fallen trees. SAT nav gets very upset when I follow a detour. Tour in detour seems very appropriate sometimes.

See you all Saturday

T D H & M F 2014

Today has been another clear bright day. No rain, wind, just sunshine. Water is slowly receding. Roads are clear.

Going into North London tomorrow, it will be interesting to see  if the weather has had  an impact there.

Thame

Today the weather has been dry, sunny and windy around the Thame area. Last night the wind was so strong it demolished a brick pillar supporting the fence on the boundary. Last week a few trees came down, but with less rain this will give the ground a chance to dry so the trees will stay in the ground.

Weather looks more seasonal for next week.

T D H & M F 2014

Every thing is ready for the day. Tables checked, can't do with a repeat of last year, when the table supplier pulled out a week before the fair.

The table plan is on the website, some changes but not to many. We have had to adjust some positions to fill in gaps and try to keep a logical structure to the movement around the fair. We have also tried to take account of some of the feedback we have had and hope we have improved the areas where bottlenecks caused congestion.

Now can everyone please cross their fingers or say a dry weather prayer so that we get a dry spell before the fair.

Remember doors open at 10.00.

Not Long Now

I returned from Avorias in France yesterday. Replaced snow with rain, at least you can ski on snow, rain is just wet.

Everything is on track for a really good fair. A superb range of Artisans and stand holders, we hope something of quality for everyone to see and buy.

My job now is to place information about the fair on all the local what's on websites, and cross those Ts and dot the Is.

Doors open 10.00 on Saturday 22nd February.
