Cheshire Show and Capesthorne Hot Air Balloons
I’m sitting here at the Cheshire Show, typing this in between chatting to the earlybird customers. It’s just gone 9am, and looks like it’ll be another hot day. Yesterday was hot, clammy and airless in the marquee, which made people want to exit asap - not brilliant!! However, it was a good (if slightly sticky…) day and enough people braved the clammy conditions to keep us happy!
Today is the second and last day of the Cheshire Show, but the Capesthorne Hall Hot Air Balloon Extravaganza in Macclesfield is hot on its heels. It starts on Friday afternoon, and runs into the evening, is on all day and evening till 10pm on Saturday, and runs all day into the evening till 8ish on the Sunday. Phew!! Long days, but should be great fun.
As well as making up customer orders, next week will be spent replenishing stock so I can add names, dates, messages, etc., to items and gifts at the fair. It’s all hand-painted at the moment so pretty labour intensive!
I forgot to bring my camera today, but I’ll try to remember it for the hot air balloons! It’s the first one I’ve been to and I believe they are amazing.
