This year’s show was the last one to be held on its current historical site and, though it will be a shame to move the show away from the town I am pleased that the event is continuing on a new site near the Cannard’s Grave (Sheep) roundabout.

Setting up first thing was akin to a 1970’s comedy. Every time we put one side of the gazebo together the opposite side fell apart. That plus the wind and rain trying to scupper our attempts, it was with a mixture of determination, laughter and gaffa tape that we managed to get everything in its place and ready in time.

The morning was quiet so I took the opportunity to visit some of the trade stands handing out leaflets to offer Stress Awareness talks. I was pleased with the feedback I got from the people on the stands. It is good to know that businesses are taking mental health seriously at last. Here’s hoping I get some response.

The afternoon was much busier and we had a good number of enquires at our stand and, despite the intermittent rain and gusty winds we had a lot of fun. It was nice to get to know my fellow therapists in this environment. We are already looking forward to next year’s show.
