All packed and ready to set off tomorrow morning on my loooong drive up to Perth Scotland.
I say Scotland as a few people have thought I was off to Australia for a few days.

I have arrived, well nearly. I'm in Kinross about 15 miles away, will make the rest of the journey early tomorrow.
Have to set the stand ASAP as I have a workshop at 11am.

Not sure if it's the flowers workshop or model of month workshop, will find out tomorrow.
I would prefer flowers tomorrow and then I have time to get ready for the other workshop later in the day.

It took the best part of 11 hours to get here with a few stops along the way.
Only a couple of minor delays on route so not too bad a journey,
once you get past Blackpool on the M6 the scenery changes so much.

yes, once you get past Blackpool the scenery is amazing as it changes and gets more and more dramatic as the miles roll by

Once you get past Blackpool the scenery is great ....... mainly 'cos it's not Blackpool any more        

ha ha, that's true, but you know they call it the 'Jewel of the North'

Yes, just joking......had a lot of fun there at conventions, and have friends in Lytham St Anns, the posh bit  

I think the Blackpool tourist board will be around to see the both of you
I enjoyed the show Thursday night, the star for me was Doris from Germany, what she could do on a unicycle...WOW
She was Fab, it's the gala show tonight in the local theatre, looking forward to this.
Have a few pictures to post when I get home.

I'm home after nearly a 12 hour drive............with a few stops along the way.
Will post a few pictures from the event over the next few days.

A few pictures from the event, not sure the colour will work out OK
as the lighting was very odd at the venue, I had 2/3 people asking about all the new colours.
It was just the normal colours but in a very different light.

The view I had from my stand.

The first session was going to be the Fox, Dinosaur and then the Angel but we ran out of time
so it was just two from three.

Russell, Ashley and Tanya.

Then it was onto the Dinosaur.

I then had a play with the TMNT.
I thought this one was too tall and did not like the way the arms came out form the body.
