Strike One

Well, today saw the start of the Christmas craft fair trail, which is going to be a feature of my Sundays up until the big day itself.

I was dragged along to Oakwell Hall Christmas Craft Fair today along with hundreds of other wallets. Apart from the stalls offering the usual fare, there was some entertainment laid on in the form of the Clifton Handbell Ringers clanging their way through some seasonal ditties. In the courtyard was The Ugly Mug Jug Band, a fearsome foursome with a banjo, guitar, washboard, harmonica and jug. They played some pretty good music, a sort of jazz meets skiffle. Mmmm, Nice! The Sally Army Brass Band finished off the days proceeding with Carols.

My itinery over the next few Sundays,( and a Saturday, just in case we miss anything.)
Dec 5th- Cannon Hall Christmas Fair.
Dec 11th- Grassington Dickensian Christmas Fayre.
Dec 12th- Bagshaw Museum with candlelit procession.
Dec 19th- Christmas 1940's style at Redhouse.

I think my wallet will be well and truly Craft Faired out by the end of that lot!
