Weekend Craft Market In Broad Street

This weekend there was a local craft market in Broad Street, with stalls selling a wide range of hand made craft items.  This area is often used for special one off market weekends, which is very popular with all those who visit, and I am sure the stall holders do well out of the weekend as well.  I don't know who organises these weekends, but they do add to the busy city centre in my opinion.

Basket Weaving Northmoor Trust

Today I was at the Northmoor Trust and spent the day on a very interesting one day course in Basket Weaving.  The Northmoor Trust is about 10miles from Oxford, this is the first photo posted to the blog that is outside my guidelines of all photo's being 5km of Carfax, but I had a very relaxing and enjoyable time that I decided it was worth bending the rules this once.  At the end of the day we all took home a small basket that we had made and learnt a new skill of Basket Weaving.  The only materials we used was the flexible part of the Willow Tree to make the basket, mine turned out a little odd looking, but I was happy with it over all, have a look here.

Tucker you missed out on a very interesting day, Natasha was great to meet you, and we will have to show Tucker how to weave one day.
