A mainly pictorial record of our successful weekend, along with pictures mainly of some of our West Country friends. Apple Vale Fortune was awarded 2nd place in the Intermediate White Male class, though his sister wasn't placed in the Junior White Female class. Joy was awarded 2nd and 3rd for two of her hand-spun, hand-woven scarvess, in a class of ten entries!
