Make your mistakes, take your
chances, look silly, but keep on going. Don’t freeze up.
Last Sunday, I was attending and
annual Christmas fair in my local town. It was great, it always is. Everything
you would want and expect from a good Christmas event: tasty food, hot drinks,
crafts and the airy fairy, flighty atmosphere of a good sunny Sunday when there
is nothing better to do than go for a wander and see what other folk are doing.

And stuck in the middle of all of
this magical and calming mayhem are the food and craft sellers. The same faces
keep popping up and the same old chats and catch ups that you look forward to
and remember why you keep doing this. My friend and I, who had met up the night
previous and jokingly decided we should concoct a book of clichéd sayings that
riddle every craft fair across the country. But it was all done in good taste
and with our tongues somewhere skewed firmly into our cheeks.
We met for
another glass of wine, in the gorgeous Malton Hotel Bar, after the goings on
and mulled over ‘what another fine day’ we had done. We laughed and jibed at
the same clichéd sayings that were respun across the fair and our same pulled
faces looking on willing things would never change. Whatever the draw of the fair is, both the sellers and buyers enjoy, if not for very different reasons. It’s like going home for
Christmas….we all fall into our roles and somehow manage to make an annual
habit (secretly loving it) but nonetheless, kicking and screaming all the way.
