Sunny Saturday
Although I lost the rainbow bunting for the stall, it all looked good in the end. 'Greenpeace' came up with the display goodies in time for the event: banner, sheets of 'I love Arctic' stickers and proper, sealed collection boxes. Squeezed onto a tiny folding table were the 'crafting for the Arctic' collection of knitted, crocheted, felted creatures and lino printed cards. The wind did it's best to send everything flying off the stall, glad for the roll of sellotape!
Ryde library team's display board toppled over when a sudden gust of wind caught it, fortunately no one was badly hurt. The pop-up library was a great success, celebrating 'World Book Night' by giving away free books. I got Jackie Kay's 'Red Dust Road' which I'm really looking forward to reading, as she's a brilliant poet too. There was lots of choice, and within a short time they were down to the last book.
There was quite a buzz in the square with market stalls. Local suppliers of meat, eggs, plants, makers of special breads, and other delicious food. The young man selling 'The Big issue' patiently stood holding his papers, smiling at the passers by. 'Superman's' mum tried to explain to her young son what the Arctic was all about, as I handed him a sticker. Quite a lot for a five year old to take in.
