It took only 30 seconds of sticking ones head in the much touted Abingdon on Thames Crafts fayre
to mutter thanks but no thanks.
Oh the historic venue was charming enough an old theatre but the fayre just
no.
Run by an organisation from my distant youth calling itself The Friends of Abingdon
it had a big flash banner some days before whipping up excitement.
But inside just a few tables.
and some rather odd crafts of the underwater basket weaving school variety.LOL
A woman from London funnily enough with some sort of quilts....or summin....
I couldn't quite see what the heap was,
some leather bits and bobs,
no food I could see,
rag dolls and other ;crafts'gone the way of time or the sort regularly
come across abandoned in skips.
All in all it didn't float my boat.
And the cherry on top was the supercilious Cheshire cat cheesy grins of some
rather smug local women not directed at me the customer but rather
THROUGH me.
I just didn't like any of it a bit in a sort of Donald Trump way!
Toodel pip!
