So off we went again, at least this time John was with us and he wasn’t over excited.
We had a few bits and pieces of food to taste and at lunch time John sneaked me some cider. I think it was pretty strong ‘cos next thing I knew I was sitting on a tray with some lobster and prawn. Luckily I got away before the octopus got me.
Apparently Maria and Claire had booked onto a class making Dorset Buttons (I had no idea what they were) in the afternoon, I was so bored by then that I decided to join them.
Rather surprisingly I really enjoyed it, and was pretty good at it. Even the official show photographer took my photo, he felt it would be really good publicity for next year.
By the end of a couple of hours I had a pretty good collection of buttons.
Perhaps there’s more to this working with wool than I thought. When Claire found a small ball of wool and a sock pattern for a bear of my size, I persuaded her to buy it and Maria has agreed to teach me to knit.
I don’t know what we are doing tomorrow but I do know Wonderwool is finished so it will be something different. John said something about going to see red kites being fed. I hope they don’t fancy bear to eat, they are blooming big birds and I’m not sure I could fight one off on my own.
