    Was a lovely day...beautiful weather, good sales, lots of friendly people and it was great to meet Robert and his dad

    Robin,

    Congratulations on your first appearance as a vendor.

    I'm sure the people were wowed with the quality of your pins.

    Cheers

    Nice job. Looks like you had a lot of interest.

    Not really a close up, but it gives a good impression.

    Was my maiden trip as a festival vendor and it really went well. Things can be...and will be...improved of course. Robert and some other vendors gave some good tips and some nice ideas myself also

    Most important...I didn't forget to bring lots of tie raps

    Well done, Robin. ........and it is good to see Robert and Henk looking just as they did when they left me in Storrington on Thursday, although how they managed to have kilts for sale when their luggage was absolutely minimal, I do not know! But then, I guess they were taking orders rather than selling off the rack (that is not Robert's style!).

    OK, so where are the pics of your new R-Kilt?

    The event was in the Netherlands? But your sign is in English... I'm confused.
