Bank Holiday Weekend in the sun!

Hello again!

I regularly update my blog with some of the things that Wendy and I get up to and this weekend we have had a fabulous time!

Wendy, for those of you who do not know, is a Reiki Master, and one of the groups she belongs to decided that they would have a stall at the Thai Festival Weekend, which was being held in the Secretts Garden centre in Milford, Surrey, and was organised by The Mudita Trust Charity, raising finance to help educate girls from some of the poorest areas. It also coincided with the 80th birthday of King Bhumibol, the King of Thailand, so yellow was a bit of a theme!

I have to be honest, on the first day, when we arrived, neither Wendy or I held out much hope of it being very busy - and how wrong we were!! It was packed solid all weekend! Apparently they expected over 50,000 visitors - that's how wrong!

Everyone was in really good spirits and very friendly. There were numerous stalls, a very large number selling Thai food (which just made our mouths water, although niether of us indulged, as result of a bit of a health drive at the moment!). There was a stage, where different Thai dancing, martial arts etc were performed and I have to say the costumes were dazzling!

The stand we were on, was organised by Jill Roberton and Diane Betts, who gathered together a group of therapists offering neck and shoulder massage, reiki, infinite balance and hand reflexogy.

We both worked on the Saturday morning and the Monday afternoon, and it was only when we got home we realised how tired we were - and some of the girls (and lad!) had been there the whole weekend, they must have been exhausted! It is not so much that we were physically running around, but for anyone who has been on an exhibition stand - constantly talking and smiling with strangers,takes it out of you.

Still, Wendy and I know that things like this are a great way to network and get your business known to even more people, and as we were allowed to put out our brochures, it made it even more worthwhile. I know Wendy managed to hand her business card out to at least 2 people!

Well worth helping out and a great time was had by all!! And I would highly recommend watching out for the next one!
