Yogi!

DON'T WALK ON THE CANVAS!!
Our no 1. rule being blatantly ignored by Yogi, David's new Jack Russel puppy. He really is very cute though..when he isn't shouting at Ruby and Flossie to play!! Floss just looks the other way and Ruby either shouts back or hides behind me shaking!! To use John's oft repeated line..."it's like a bloody circus!!"

Frenetic Activity!

We are well into the marquee season now, with three to six events on every week! From big weddings hiring everything from the marquee, furniture etc, down to table linen, napkins and garden games, cushions, milk churns and so on.... Then there are the little hires, just decorative items, maybe a few hay bales, a gift cart, some cushions... every order and enquiry is different (and often challenging!) The latest order just in today..four Jester tents to go off to London for a photo shoot!
We do our best to help everyone, even the last minute enquiries...last week I was instructing Daisy where to find and how to pack crockery and linen as I was on my way to Bristol airport to go on holiday!


Here is one of our Vintage marquees dwarfed by the rather grand house behind! This hire was for delightful Phoebe's eighth birthday party.
There are pictures of the fabulous Paris marquee on the web site now..this stunning marquee (made especially to my specification!) really was worth the wait.Watch this space for the expanding gallery of the Paris in action!
Now..gearing up for this week.. the Three Peaks is at a birthday party, the Essex off to a Young Farmers anniversary gathering, the Big Top at a wedding, the Brixworth at a birthday party, the Vintage at a small gathering, and lots of other bits and pieces off to a wedding in Hungerford!
All to be collected next week and we start all over again with another four weddings, a few 50th birthdays and a few other parties too..all before the end of the month!
