Another ClareCraft event and this time the weather wasn't anywhere
near as good.
However, I was impressed that it waited until 2 minutes after we zipped
up the caravan awning
before starting to rain on Saturday night. And that it had stopped by morning.
We still had a great time though, meeting lots of old friends as well as some
new ones.
Kate and her friend Emma loved every minute, except for the beards (see below).
Annie finally got to meet Jake (Dave and Chris's dog), and made children and
young ladies (some gentlemen too) go 'aaahhh' everywhere she went.
I didn't take that many pictures due to being in the Maskerade, so I am going to make an effort and put some captions on them.
Enjoy

I have it on good authority
(i.e. Howard himself) that this is meant to be Igneous, the troll potter from Feet of Clay, not Detritus as some people have assumed. |

Many thanks to Mandy's Dad, George, for wielding the camera
during the Maskerade.
The photos inside the barn are pretty dark, but I've put them up anyway.
Publish and be damned!
As usual, if you give me any more details I'll fill them in.

We've just heard the sad news about ClareCraft closing down.
Commiserations to Sally, Trish and everybody else affected.
It must have been incredibly difficult to get through the event without letting
on.
