Vintage fair at Bath!


Morning everyone!

On my day off yesterday I thought it would be nice to go to a vintage fair at the Assembly rooms in Bath. With sis in tow I was expecting a pleasant short trip and after 3 hours of mayhem it nearly turned out to be a crosscountry roadtrip. I thought that we'd never get there, it was very eventful and at one point the old Severn bridge was in our sights(obviously the opposite direction.) Very scary driving on the motorway when you know somehow you have to turn around.

Finally on the right path, nothing could possibly stop us now, Bath was in our view and we'd be enjoying the fair very soon. Obviously it wasn't our day as we spent over an hour in a bumper to bumper traffic jam, mayhem!!!Not nice when you're bursting for the loo eh!!

There was light at the end of the tunnel and we were at the front of the queue, with our google map directions we were sure to find the assmebly rooms easily.....nope every building seems the same colour, every road looks the same, jam packed with cars both sides, parking was a nightmare!!!

After a quick toilet stop we wandered to the rooms, wow.....treasures......I was in heaven!I managed to buy a few things but just wish I had the waist for some of the lovely skirts!!Blessed with my mothers thunder thighs too, some things were impossible. Although a trader kindly suggested that rolling on them reduced the fat....I'll leave that one with you!

All in all it was a fab day, very tiring but I am happy in the knowledge that there still are some fantastic pieces out there and that I may have converted my big sister!

  2. It was a lovely surprise to see you in Bath yesterday! Sorry you had such a horrible journey.. apparently the traffic was so bad, one of my customers turned back and went home! (Great shame as she certainly missed some treasures didn't she..)
