Brigg Methodist Church will be the venue for an All Crafter-Made Craft Fair.
It will be on Saturday, October 8 at the building in Wesley Road, just off the A18 (10am to 4pm).
“Come and buy your unusual Christmas gifts early,” say the organisers.
There will be embroidery, soft toys, a pen-maker, a woodturner and a felt artist.
Light lunches will be available.
Christmases just are the same, Scribs.
ReplyDeleteIn the early Fifties, Christmas fare was scarce, but our Uncle Ken, a butcher, brought us a goose - complete with head, and feathers.
At about the age of 5, or 6, I remember helping to pluck it in the cellar...the whole place was covered in down.
Once the feet were cut off, I found that if I pulled on the various protruding sinews, the claws would open and close.
I took one of these devices in to the street and chased Josephine Woods!
Later, Granny Woods knocked at the door and informed my Mum that young Josephine had locked herself in her bedroom, terrified, because of Little Kenny's horrible foot!
I got a slap behind the legs for being a bully and my goose leg was thrown onto the fire.
What my Mum didn't know is that I had the second claw hidden under my bed...ready for scaring my mates the next day.
Those were the days...!
