It was a busy few days for us this weekend and a definite change in pace between the two. On Saturday we had a stall at the Designers/Makers Market at Old Spitalfields Market in London. This was our second visit and buoyed up by the success of our time before we had been busy making and preparing our stock to take there.
There were a few different faces amongst the stall holders and a few people we had met from our time before and as usual there was an interesting mix of products for sale - textiles, jewellery, furniture and ceramics.
And then there was Sunday.
We have a petrol head amongst the family who informed us of a special event which is held every year at Dunsfold Park in Surrey. It is a charity event to raise money for The Tadworth Children's Trust and comprises of scores of Supercar owners driving the general public round the race track for a fee at fantastic speeds. These cars are amazing and the atmosphere there was brilliant - everyone was there to have fun and raise money for a good cause.
Of course we couldn't go along and stand by just taking pictures and waving - definitely not. Between us we sampled a Maclaren, a Porsche Turbo, an Aston Martin and two Caterhams and it certainly did not disappoint, the thrill of racing around a track at over 100mph was incredible and every bit as exciting as it looked! The weather was perfect (it actually managed not to rain) and with food stalls and rides suitable for even the youngest visitors it was a really great family day out.
We have pencilled it in our diaries for next year and have already decided which cars we want to sample then!
