Enjoyed "my trip" to your fair very much .... a year late is better than not at all. Great to also see interested persons, especially those who tried their hand. Thanks so much for sharing. Norma in Salem, VA/USA

It's that time of year again when and I and my merry band of medieval lacemakers show how lace was not made in medieval times at the Baldock Medieval Street Fair. We've been demonstrating at it for at least 15 years (it started as a Victorian Street Fair which was more appropriate!). It's great fun and if anyone would like to join us or just visit you'd be more than welcome. http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/563456493ejLLKq will take you to my photos of last year's demo and you can also see the 2007 ones. Baldock is just off the A1 in North Hertfordshire and is a lovely town - or was until they decided to 'enhance' the town. The work is almost finished and I can't say I'm too impressed. They've narrowed our wonderful high street, moved the pelican crossings even closer to the main junction in the town and put a flat cobbled mini roundabout in the middle - it's lethal on the motorbike! Takes me twice as long to get to the next town to work than it did. We are back to delays similar to pre-bypass days purely because the traffic cannot flow due to crossings, traffic lights, people trying to get in and out of parking spaces, no bay for the bus... Oh dear I am being a grump! Tell you what, have a lacy day out and see what you think! You can climb the church tower for an overall view as well! See you all on Saturday16th May from 10am to 4pm - we'll be in the Community Centre - can't trust the weather!!
