Julip Live 2019 - The Show, Part 1
We got up and out the door in good time for our hour drive to Littlemore. After threatening our phones a bit, we managed to get the GPS to cooperate and we made it to the hall with very few detours.

Julip Live 2019 - Traveling
This was the year I finally made it down to Julip Live. I drove down to Magda's on Thursday evening and we took the train down to Oxford from Edinburgh Friday morning. The trip actually went quite smoothly, and we arrived in Stroud in the late afternoon where we were picked up by some hobby friends who had very kindly invited us to stay with them and carpool to the show.

Lake District Live 2019 - The Aftermath
The only thing I bought during our Saturday rummage of the junk shops was a prettily embroidered hankerchief to turn into a bedspread for the brass bed in the Magpie's Nest, but I found a ton of excellent little bits at the carboot on Sunday.
Lake District Live 2019 - The Show
Since it's around a five hour trip for me, I prefer to arrive the day before and leave the day after the show instead of driving down at oh-god o'clock for the 9am opening time and driving home in the middle of the night after the dinner.
It was a surprisingly uneventful drive down, and we didn't get lost once which was a minor miracle.
We usually try to time things to arrive later in the afternoon so we can check in directly and put our things in the room, out of the hot car, and then have a bit of a walk around. Most of my pictures of the area are in the Travels with Rok posts.

Lake District Live 2019 - The Preparation
Lake District Live is the only show I usually manage to attend as most of the other shows are down below Birmingham, and that's just a bit too far for my elderly vehicle. As it is, we usually have to weld something back on after the Lake District run.
The class list is generally announced around February, which sounds like loads of time to prepare, but when you're trying to keep a household running, as well as a business with a time-intensive product, time slips away from you pretty quickly.
