A windy day at Maccy Market

Well, as the title of this post suggests it was a windy day. Because I was tired after spending yesterday at a "Come UnStuck" workshop given by Leonie Marks, I slept in. So I was late to the Macclesfield Village Market this morning and since the weather looked a bit iffy at that early time of day, the hall was full!

I therefore set up my stall outside! With no cover or walls to protect me, the flutes and books, it was a little bit of a battle with the wind. Not that it blew a gale all the time, there were time slots that were a bit breezy to say the least.

I gave up at around the 2:15pm and let the wind be the master, instead of battling with the cloth blowing around, books flipping open and a CD which blew right off the table and decided to travel quite a distance down the road, on it's edge all the way. No scratches, just a few dings on the edge of the CD and a broken case. Don't know if it will still play though, unless I can smooth the rough bits it might catch in the player.

There is always interest in the flutes, with people coming to ask questions and enjoying it when I play a bit of a demo for them. I'm enjoying this interaction a lot, and get to play quite a bit more confidently now. It was also very interesting to play outside and compete with a wind that kept wanting to steal the song from the flute as I played. Good fun though.

Only a couple of weeks to the next Flute Circle (2nd Saturday of the month). Let me know if you are coming along. That way I can have a Welcome Pack ready for you.

Namaste for now.
