Handmade for Christmas 2017

~The 2017 Exhibitor Survey Results~
Early Bird or Night Owl? Half of our makers/artists are night owls and just a
third are early birds. The rest burn their candles at both ends.
Pie or Pasta? 50% prefer pasta, 30% like pie and 20% are really greedy and
want pasta pie.
Seaside or Mountains for your holidays? 57% love being by the sea, 25%
are at home in the mountains and the rest just adore moorland, farmland, woods
and rivers. Most of us holiday under canvas.
Lemon Drizzle, Chocolate Brownie, Fruit Cake or Profiteroles? Perfectly
equal split, although Caroline is adamant she wants Coffee and Walnut and Becca
insists on Red Velvet cake… Everyone agrees that cake makes the world go round.
Favourite potato variety – Jersey Royals come out tops, beating Maris Piper
into a poor second place. But, if we combine the Maris Piper and King Edward
vote, it reinforces last year’s finding that roasting is THE way to go potatowise…
Half of our makers are totally obsessed with correct grammar, syntax and
spelling - 10% coodnt careless and the remainder have problems with
apostrophe’s. 80% would not trust an on-line diary.
Our taste in music is as varied as our taste in fine literature and most improvise
wildly in the kitchen (pictures on a postcard please!)
So... I must happily conclude (ooh sorry – did I just split an infinitive there?!) that
we have not added a great deal to last year’s research, the conclusion of which
was that most of us would rather be on holiday, camping by the sea, eating roast
potatoes and cake. It’s reassuring to know that nothing really changes….
