Part three – Sunday
On Sunday the weather forecast had warned us to expect showers – and we got a heavy one as we were having breakfast. Luckily the last few drops fell as I walked up the fields to the food tent while M/C sorted out the caravan and his Land Rover – and that was the last rain of the day until after we arrived home! 😀 Every half hour or so it would come over dark and threatening but we were so lucky. Any rain must have fallen on someone else – and between the “threats” it got positively hot!
On unpacking the last megabag of morsbags I found that at least half of them were made from a huge batch of Skopos printed with a bamboo pattern! Nice bags and quite a popular design, but we felt like a couple of pandas, surrounded by them all 😀
Other entertainment – The Exmoor Shanty Men
and Elfic the clown/juggler
Daily at 2.30 everything stopped for an aerobatics display. The photos don’t capture the amazing things the pilot did with the plane – making it climb straight up, turning end over end?? Corkscrew twists and falls? The smoke gives some idea of where the plane has recently been.

A little before the show closed I met the owner of a new glamping and crafts site.You can see where this is going, can’t you? Tanya owns Coastal Valley Camp & Crafts

“How much do we charge to do a workshop?” Well as it’s morsbags the answer has to be “Nothing!” 😀
I’ll see if we can work out an arrangement – I don’t want to be used as a free kid-sitting service so there will have to be a minimum age, plus every child accompanied by an adult – all the time!!.
Still, coming away from the rally with three possible new outlets for morsbags and three new pools of people with ears to be bent seems pretty good to me. 😀
Great moments –
* Lucy from Untrashed Cornwall’s instant enthusiasm for morsbags.
* The identical twins from (I forget where, was it Suffolk?) who were talking of setting up their own pod
Jaw dropping moment – when someone wanted one of the smaller bags – to keep her plastic carriers in!! I suppose at least she’s reusing them, but I said the thought of her using a morsbag for that would make me cry and I wouldn’t let her have it!
A photographer from the beeb seems to have visited on Saturday too –
