As promised here's a quick insight into the Christmas craft fair held in aid of The Arc (dog rescue centre).  Lions Castle Polo Estate is a beautiful and vast area in the parish of St Thomas, one of the highest points of the island too at 1000ft above sea level.  The views are fantastic across to the West coast near Holetown and you feel like you are on top of the world looking down. Its not easy to find as we had to follow other people across many cane fields, bumping along tracks between the sugar cane.Not easy in our poor 'old boy' of a car, when a large wheeled monster truck would be more ideal.
The Christmas fair was a mix of truly beautiful handmade jewellry, cards and handmade tree decorations, always wonderful photography by Sue Holder and bad art and pottery.  Although this is in a good cause you tend to see the same people selling the same old things at each fair or event, and it is very limiting.Original ideas are slow to surface.
H and I will be going back to Lions Castle, not for any other Christmas fairs, but for the Polo season which will be starting in January.
