Stocksfield Gathering

On Saturday I set off very early, just after 6am, for Stocksfield where Tynedale Gathering is held near Newcastle. They were still setting up the hall when I arrived and the heavy rain had started. I arranged my fibres, silks, and all my other wares on my table and chatted to other stallholders. The rain continued and driving conditions were awful which delayed a few stall holders and kept some visitors at home but many did visit and for me Tyndale Gathering was a good day.  I saw many friends and customers and enjoyed an excellent buffet lunch provided by the Tyndale Guild.
 Unfortunately the rain continued throughout the day causing localised flooding which closed roads including the A68 and A19 for a while. The rain had stopped by the end of the day which made loading the car easier and I set off home, thankfully most roads had reopened, and when I arrived home my Mum had made a delicious veggie lasagne for dinner.
