For us this weekend has been dominated by the annual Littleton and Harestock Show. Saturday morning saw us getting to the tent in time to set up our entries - photos, cake, veg, floral display, clay models, marzipan animals, pizza, collages, pictures. Quick trip back home for a coffee and then we were back on site to set up the St Catherine's church stand where people were going to be able to make puppets. Home again for lunch and then back for the show opening at 1pm. The next 4 hours were spent on the stand or looking round the show. Helen helped out on the Teddy Bear bungee jump (with 3 of Alice's teddies being on hand to take part in the jumps). We also had the excitement after 2pm of being able to see whether any of our entries had won a prize. Nothing this year for me or Carol but the girls managed a good haul of prizes each.
I managed to grab 5 more numbers (8, 33, 44, 48 & 99) towards my photography challenge which means I now only need another 40 to complete the set.
Sunday saw us return to the show once more, this time for the annual Littleton & Harestock Show Service. This ecumenical service brings together the Churches in North Winchester for a celebration in the show marquee. The highlight this year was without a doubt (in my biased opinion) the 2 performances by the "Ups and Downs" puppets. Their first spot was a reprise of their award winning (in the southern regional puppet ministry competition) "I turn to God" and for their second number they gave us "He's the one that I want". The performances were very well received and it looks like they may have some more bookings as a result.
