We had a great day at Memory Lane's Craft & Gift Fair at Gamble Hall, St Helens yesterday. Thank you to all those who braved the awful weather - it was so nice to meet you! We were also fortunate enough to meet the lovely Barbara Attwood, author of Blue Plastic Cow. The book chronicles Barbara's moving 26 year search for her birth mother. If you would like a personalised copy, Barbara will be attending Memory Lane's Craft & Gift Fair at the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton on Sunday 13th November. It can also be purchased online here: Amazon and Waterstones. 

If you are looking for something to do this coming Bank Holiday Monday, 29th August, why not pop along to Hulme Hall's Craft & Gift Fair in Port Sunlight. There'll be plenty of stalls to browse.  If you've not been to Port Sunlight before, I highly recommend a visit. It's absolutely beautiful and a leisurely stroll around the village is a perfect way to end the day. Doors open 10am. 😊 Please note: Hulme Hall charges a small admission fee.
