Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I am going to talk about the Artisans Trades Trail. Did you go? I did. It was really cool. The first stop Mum and I went to was the Uniting Church Hall which had all these little tables - one was were you learnt to to clean silver and mend pots which will come in very handy as we have some old silver and  a broken pot. We also saw a really old flag, which the attendant said it was home made and probably used to welcome the fleet back home. Our second stop was the Walshall Hall. There we met a stallholder that has been to Greece (I'm half Greek!) many times and she speaks Greek too. She is a language teacher. Her husband makes Appalachian dulcimers .On our third stop we went to the CWA Hall. I met some ladies from the wire-making guild and I was given a small wire scorpion - that is a pretty good thing to have! We then caught the bus to our fourth stop which was Experimental Farm Research Station. I got some popcorn and some corn on the cob with butter, I did some wip cracking and looked around. At the end we caught the bus back to William St and then walked home. That was a pretty good and I can't wait for next year.

Until next time
