| Perhaps it was a sign |
On Saturday we visited Kew Gardens- it's quite some since we'd been there and it is always changing.
The seasons mean that even if things don't change they change the way they look and as we move into autumn the colours of the trees are quite something even if many of the beds are now empty.
We didn't know it when we decided to visit was that there was also a craft fair 'Handmade at Kew' for the weekend - it was £8 entrance each for Friends of Kew which is a fair amount but on balance just about worth it.

What was nice about the exhibitors is how happy they were to talk about and explain what they do - liked
Geckoman a business that was run by a guy who at first studied biology but moved first into ceramics and the worked in bronze.

| Some examples of Gavin's work |
Anna Glasbrook had some lovely light boxes and was developing a sideline in unusual openings for events (as alternatives to the traditional ribbon and scissor), there was some fantastic furniture too and the individual items made by
Jonathan Pearce and also
Gavin Robertson were almost beyond words.
I really liked the wirework that
Helaina Sharpley's had on show (and sale) too this 'Big Ben' caught my eye and if I had some cash to spare I reckon it'd make a nice present
