Well we finally got there on Saturday and the only travel problems we had in the end were our car sliding sideways around Milton Keynes Park and Ride! We even managed to find chairs to sit on each time for food stops and cups of tea! Probably wouldn't have been so lucky on a normal show Saturday.
My haul is more modest than from Ally Pally but I'm happy with it and the day out - especially seeing all the African prints, I've even found one that I think will work on me!
However, my husband wasn't so impressed with all the non-sewing related stalls (except the cakes of course) and said he enjoyed the greater amount of space allocated to displays of work at Ally Pally...so I can only assuming we'll be going there in October! Surely?
