Elderflower Festival

Went to the Elderflower Festival, held in the grounds
of Bentley Motor and Wildlife
Museum, at the weekend for the
most amazing and magical festival
Camping and music were in large open fields
but the woods were transformed into a magical
experience. Lamb cooked in the rear of a
beetle, served with hummus and pitta,
Juices, cake and treats, in this great
area, which looked even better as the
woods got dark at night.

 Early morning tea - unbeatable.
Pizza cooked in a portable wood
burning stove.
On arrival at the site
you were greeted with a chilled glass of
elderflower wine, very welcome after a
hot drive. Dotted around the wood were
healing huts offering reflexology and other
treatments.
Sports camp for the children. Live music.
Roll on next year -  A really fab weekend.

decoupage - in progress


Great fun on a rainy day ! (Yes, we have had way too many of them recently.)
Decoupage, translates as sticking layers of paper onto cardboard letters ,

or in my case a fab deers head.Not finish yet, but with the recent weather
forecast, I have no excuse. John Lewis has a good selection of objects to cover
and paper, as does C and H. Fabrics, but I got some of my letters 1.90p for
a large letter and 99p per sheet of tissue paper for the only Art shop
in the Five ways on Ditching Road, Brighton.
The deers head is from re-foundobjects.
