(Picture of Manda Demoing in her new studio - isnt that the most gorgeous picture on the wall behind her !?!)
For a lot of the time as most of you know I spend my time in my garage on my torch, and as Im not exactly Miss Sociability this suits me down to the ground. It does mean that when the chance for a get together comes up it is quite a big thing and I have a tendancy to get rather over excited !! This weekend was no exception and was one of the nicest glassy get togethers I have ever been to, with so many lovely people there the only shame was in lack of time to talk to everyone I wanted to talk to for hours and hours each. There were demos to watch, both "formal" and impromptu and lots and lots of beady swapage going on and I think I can safely say a great time was had by all.
I dont have a lot of pictures (Got carried away with the talking...) but there are some on Flickr here for those that are interested.
As well as all the lovely glassyness we did discover on Saturday evening a (slightly surreal) carnival of pipe bands in Bideford !! Not, I have to confess, what I was expecting in the very south of England but fantastic to watch and listen to non the less.
Further down the road from where the bands were marching there was a funfair !! At which point I rather made up for the lack of photos I didnt take during the day funfairs being one of my favorite things to take photographs of !! I wont bore you with all of them, just a couple I particularly like -
All in all a fun filled and fantastic weekend with lots of lovely people, now I just have to work out how to settle back into my routine .....

the pictures look great and it also sound like you had a really good time.
Well done for going! I wish I had been there too, but this was right in the middle of my "Move", so no chance... The pix are fantastic!
