Conwy Seed Fair 2013

On Tuesday Conwy's High Street was closed off and stalls selling plants, bulbs, seeds, honey, homebakes & crafts etc were set up. This is a 700 year old charter fair founded by Edward 1st. I have to say that the stall holders were brave to come out on such a bitterly cold day. Last year it was warm and sunny....quite a contrast.

By the time I left it was much brighter and more visitors were arriving. So let's hope all the stall holders did well after making such an effort to attend the fair.

While sitting here I might as well do some advertising for events that are happening this weekend. At Tefriw Woollen Mills. This mill is still powered by water and produces amazing Welsh tapestry and tweeds. You can see more details on www.t-w-m.co.uk

This weekend they are holding a Textile Market. As well as being able to buy beautiful hand-made gifts you can see hand spinning, weaving etc. I went there yesterday as there was a demonstration of making rag rugs
