I had a busy weekend - visiting a friend in
Kyneton, viewing some edible gardens and an exhibition of '
lost trades'.
Our focus for the edible gardens was on the wicking beds.

| Produce for us to try |
 |
| How to make a wicking bed. |
It was very enjoyable and educational. We also had some rain!!! We weren't allowed to complain about getting wet, it is too long since we had much rain.
There was a good turn-out for the exhibition. Among other things, we saw a fletcher,

a cooper, a cobbler, spinners, chair makers,
harpists,
a musical instrument maker,
 |
| This one was made out of a biscuit tin and there was another made from a big metal barrel. |
a bell maker,
a blacksmith. There were other 'lost trades' there too, too many to list. All in all, a very enjoyable day.

looks like a very enjoyable and inspiring escapade. I wonder what people do to creatively occupy their minds and hands these days?
theregatha, I must admit, I did miss my internet use! I shudder to think how much time I waste on the internet (not what I am doing now though!!)
