Another Monday spent sorting out after a show and generally getting on top of all the admin that piles up when you are out enjoying yourselves!
On Saturday we had a good day at the Droitwich Spa Salt Day. Salt Day celebrates the town’s historic association with salt, which can be traced back to the Iron Age. The Romans knew Droitwich as ‘Salinae’ and they were in Vines Park close to us with their bare legs and full armour marching around importantly!!
We proved the importance of a good pitch too on Saturday because we started off behind the Statue in Vines Park and next to the band stand, with the Guides on one side of us and a lot of nothing on the other side. Three stands up from us was a corner spot which was empty as the exhibitors hadn't turned up and after a couple of hours when we had only sold less than a handful of Trails, the organisers asked us if we would mind moving to the corner spot - which we did and our sales went up from there! In the end we had a really good day and beat our average sales which is always a good thing!!
Sunday, we spent checking on some Trail Trouble. We'd had some feedback from a customer about the Hay on Wye Trail. I quote verbatim "Clue no 17 seemed impossible to find! We looked several times and came to the conclusion that the notice/plaque has been removed and therefore was impossible to find the answer. Might need checking from your pointof view! Great entertainment - a granny, a mum, an aunt and two teenage lads all enjoyed it. Brilliant entertainment." So any excuse to go to Hay and we set off to see if the clue had been moved.... but no, there it was albeit a little overgrown and maybe you had to know it was there, but there it was anyway in all its glory!
Had a minor problem on Sunday though, I knocked my breakfast smoothie over the laptop and consequently the w sticks a bit now... I was lucky though, it could have been more than just a sticky w!!
