When the doors opened it was busy - and I mean busy. Barbara and I found ourselves squashed up against our tables, unable to move and just about able to demonstrate. The stand was "heaving" and stayed like that until well gone two in the afternoon. In fact it was probably more like three o'clock before we managed to take stock of our area. By which time we had probably both lost a pound in weight as it was so darned hot. What bliss when someone opened the door by the side of us to go out, albeit briefly.
Here's Barbara busy doing her sales pitch at around 3.30 pm which was the first time I managed to get out to take some photos.
My lovely bosses, Graham putting some dies back and Tracey taking a well deserved break from her demoing those lovely Cheery Lynn and Memory Box dies, but still working away on the other side of her desk. Poor Tracey had had to desert her demoing at one point to help the lads who were seeing to the needs of the customers. We were just so busy.
Here's Liam who is such a lovely lad and who I always look out for to take a cash sale or help someone take a machine out to their car.
As I said, I didn't get out until the hall was getting empty but here are a few shots of our stand (depleted stand I should say) and a shot down the hall from where we were.
I did manage to have a word with Richard at the very end as he sat in his own little booth demonstrating the Pazzles. Here he is with his delightful wife who makes the most delicious biscuits. Perhaps I can get some photos of the amazing work he does with this machine.
Hopefully after a good night's sleep I can get some more photos tomorrow and I must get one of George who spent most of the day trying to convince me he was Tom, his twin. They can't pull the wool over my eyes, especially not when I am in Yorkshire.
