It's nearly summer, which means lots of outdoor shows on the way. Normally we make use of the tents/stalls supplied by the organisers or use our little green garden gazebo.
Renting stalls can be expensive but not everywhere let's you use a bog-standard garden gazebo (and they tend not to be great in poor weather!).
So... we have bought ourselves a brand spanking new tent which...
- complies with the British Standard for fire resistance (as required by some show organisers)
- is built with really sturdy poles and less likely to blow over in high winds (been there - not funny!)
- keeps out the rain when it's chucking it down throughout our Scottish Summers.
We're using it for the first time next week when we are at the BASC Fair so gave it a trial run in the garden today. Dave swore lots about the lack of instructions, not sure why as he never reads them anyway. We just need to get a sign with our name on the front of it now.
If you're at BASC drop by and I'll give you the guided tour.
(I've just noticed Dave does a mean impression of
'Wilson the neighbour' from Home Improvements!)

The tent looks great!
Why do men never read instructions!
Hope the fair goes well.

Thanks Vanessa. Let's hope it goes up quicker the second time round. We've just realised that the corner poles will not fit into our estate car in one piece so Dave is away to attack them with a hacksaw to make some 'modifications', I'm slightly worried!
