The Gardens & Arts great success!
Thursday, June 18, 2009 at 2:43 PM Well it's over! Phew. The Henfield Gardens & Arts was a great success and up on the terrace it was like a mini festival with music playing, the sun beating down and the old and young relaxing and having fun on our green. Not that I got to see much of it due to manning the studio and selling, selling, selling. From windmills to sock monkeys they were flying our the door. It was such a party atmosphere with my friends and family on mass haning out and enjoying the sun, beer and Pimms.
Loads of people commented on how lucky we are to live in our gorgeous house on the magical terrace with it's own green, great community and magnificent views. They are not wrong. The hours I put into making 54 meters of bunting for the green were well worth it and it looked like an event from another era. I only wish I had, had a moment to get the camera out and capture it. I will post some photos take by others and put on the G&A web site taken of our bit of the event. Will do it again next year but won't be opening up my studio. I want to be out there in the sun having fun like the rest of you were next time!

Mary Moox's Sock monkeys!
My little garden out the front

Circus Kinetica's much loved windmills on our green.
Fun round the corner at the village pond.

And would any village event be complete without morris dancers? Now all we need is a good murder!
