The sun shone despite predictions and Main Street looked festive with many visitors to the stalls.
SMATT'S DUO was closed but Nanna Strawberry had permission from Sue and Matt to
make use of their porch for her book display. It worked well and provided shelter. Feet were
chilled though so Audrey appreciated the loan of warm sock from Carol at Sleepy Elephant.
The new book for the occasion was book 9, Nanna Strawberry Remembers Crabbing...
and the Fun Machine
and describes how Grandad Will introduced five of his grandchildren to the art of catching crabs
and later returning them to their water. Several youngsters bought a copy gifted by grandparents
or parents. Nanna Strawberry always enjoys hearing the lovely variety of unique names which
she adds to each purchase, with her signature. The name Rose is certainly a top favourite this year,
usually in combination with another pretty first name. Nanna hopes you all enjoyed your books.
Unfortunately, after carefully packing everything away for home, Nanna discovered that her small
black shoulder bag was missing. It has no monetary value, but contains useful lists , information,
small decorations and blue tack to fix them in place and her receipt book which lists sales venues.
Hopefully it will be returned by the finder, to DUO if possible, or care of Sleepy Elephant where
she can pick it up. Love and best wishes to everyone for a happy Bank Holiday weekend x
