I saw the dresses from Australia briefly, but there were too many people around them, so I decided to come later and have a proper look. And then I forgot! The embroidery on those copes was stunning. There was so much to see that I didn't have much time left to look around the Grand Hall - I just rushed past most of the stalls. I spent nearly seven hours there, and it wasn't nearly enough. It's a much better show than it used to be. 10 years ago I remember mainly a lot of cross stitch kits and knitting - not nearly so much creative stuff as there is now.
