The Weekend - 12th and 13th October, 2013.

Oh boy, I love a Saturday!  Shopping, stopping for coffee, even window-shopping's fine, when you have the time and mind to relax and enjoy a few hours free of chores and worries.

I'm back in Brecon and looking for a shawl for a new grandchild expected next January.  I'm hoping to find the clever lady who made a shawl, bought earlier, for my first grandchild and thinking she could be at the Market Hall today.  That would be so good!!!

Not there!  Instead, the Brecknock Farmer's Market were and so too many of the stallholders from the Brecon Food Festival last weekend...how good that was!  I buy a small piece of lamb from Martin and Kate Buck of Glaisfer Uchaf Farm - www.glaisferfarm.co.uk

I discover from the Brecknock Farmer's own stall that a craft fair is being held this morning at Bishop Bevan Hall on the other side of town and hurry over to see if my knitting lady is there.

Not there again!  However, there is a stall there, and a lady knitting, and she has shawls for sale in pink and blue and, wait for it, even white.....perfect for a new baby, whose birth is so eagerly anticipated.

I buy my shawl and find myself talking to the organisers of this fair, which has been meeting since June.  It's a new venture for them, to provide a venue for exciting new sales, and by doing so, promote the talents of local craftswomen, allowing them to see their work appreciated and sold.

I'm terribly excited by this opportunity for all the ladies, involved in this new enterprise, and wish all the very best of luck.  They have two more craft fair dates before Christmas - on November 9th and December 14th.  Their first meeting in 2014 is in March, after the worst of the weather in January and February is over.  I hope it brings a happy New Year to all members of Crafters Corner, Bishop Bevan Hall, Brecon, Paws.

Some more shopping follows and then I meet up with the dear SO chatting away and, when I've managed to drag him away, we hurry off to have a quick lunch.  He has his favourite eggs and bacon and I order a corned beef pie with veggies, which will keep us going for a few hours.

Peaceful afternoon reading the newspapers and then we're off out for drinks, which becomes dinner at The Three Horseshoes, "The Groesffordd" and enjoy a very good evening there.

But that, as they say, is a story for another day.....so, do come back soon, won't you?
