Good morning! I've skipped out of today's enforced activity - a trip to the apple farm - to finish posting the pictures from yesterday's activity. See the sacrifices I make for you people? And do you even appreciate it??? (LIE TO ME!)
Scottish Country Dancing demonstration/instruction.
That's right! You too can learn to dance in a circle while wearing a kilt!
"Now, half of you walk to the left!"
The dancer at the center of this photo was the topic of conversation between LibraryDiva and myself for several minutes. And no, I'm not going to tell you why!
Another look at the crowds, but this time it's the crowds under the trees. This event is quite sprawling, and it can be fantastically muddy. Thank goodness it didn't rain the day before!
"Now hold hands and walk to the left!"
Okay, yes, I mock. But truthfully country dancing can be quite lovely to watch...and the historian in me sincerely appreciates the fact that the participants are helping to keep part of their culture's past alive in modern times.
We continued to wander through the collection of booths and displays and came upon a woodworking booth. The smell from this booth was amazing! The fresh cut wood and resin...and just...aaaahhhhhh! And we got to meet the artisan herself.
Artisan made pottery, with hand drawn motifs.
Slightly overpriced for my taste...
...but pretty. Very pretty.
