    There's a Victorian Fair Day in Markethill on a Saturday in August each year that always has big crowds, music and craft stalls.
    This isnt too far from me so please let me know when you get details.

    Interesting to read the comments on Slieve Donard. I was exhausted by the time I got home. And not even a cup of tea or bicky provided...at £30 a table it just isnt good enough.

    Great to meet other people from here, even though I didnt know who they were when I was talking to them!!

    And who smuggled chips in without asking me? My poor husband could have done with some sustenance!

    Not having done craft fairs before I didnt know what to expect but there seems to be a lot of people looking..............and thats it. They say how nice it all is but dont buy! Frustrating or what? And the usual problem with too much jewellery....think I might have to branch out!!!!!!!!! Ideas anyone?

    Enough moaning . Look forward to catching up at the Argory on Sat!!!!!!!!!!
