Today i went to Ardingly fair. The weather was awful but i was brave and did the whole market, spending 5 hours wondering around. It wasn't too busy - i think the weather put people of. i was on the hunt for vintage haberdashery and i did ok! i was distracted by lots of other bits and could have spent a fortune. I was strong and stuck to business.. well nearly. i did love the above fairground man in a box. I think he would look brilliant in my house.

The inside stalls were busier but only about 1 degree warmer! At least we were dry.

I really like taxidermy, not sure why as i am a vegetarian etc. i was really tempted, luckily i knew i couldn't afford it and think the family would not have been impressed when i got home.
