Hi Joepie et all
I did all that apart from the cardboard (which I do take at winter fairs),
as we were inside.
Problem is the building is very "lightweight" with a lot of glass - great
when the sun shines in (actually gets too hot), no good on a cloudy day.
Anyway, got a little lace done and some lucet cords, and got lots of people
to watch and ask questions.
One young woman asked if I knew a local teacher. She used to make lace
before she got married (learned from her mother).
Now with her daughter being a teenager, she wants to get back into it.
I gave her my contact details and said I'd ask my teacher.
So, if anyone knows of a lace teacher in North Lincolnshire (around Barton
area), get in touch with me, please.

A couple of things when demonstrating at this time of the year. Wear
layers and plenty of them. You can peel off what is not needed during the
day and put them on again towards the end of the day as it gets colder
again. Secondly, find a large box and flatten it to put under your feet
(this is an old market traders' trick to help keep the feet warmer). It
can be discarded at the end of the show. If you have a pair of fingerless
gloves (leather or cotton as wool sheds too much) wear them. It may be a
little awkward at first to make lace with them on, but you get used to
them quite quickly.
