Angel Traders day 4

Angel Traders day 4
Alarms went off very early showers were taken and we were off to our first business fair of the decade.It was a very cold morning and the heaters in the church went on straight away. We finished the hall and dead on 8am yes John Sidwell from Big Dish Satellite arrived. You can always count on John to arrive on time and also to spread the word to all of hisclients about our fairs.
Tea Ern was on bacon was cooking and we were ready for another fair.
Within the first hour we welcomed more that 50 visitors. All of the exhibitors stands looked wonderful with all of the different coloured banners and boards. Smiling faces and great advice was on hand to everybody.By 4.30pm everybody had gone home and we tried to quickly cleared the hall ready for our evening of fun. Thank goodness for Kirsten from the Connexion and Advertiser newspaper as she stayed and helped us clear away this really helped us to leave sooner rather than later. We had planned to leave at 5pm ready for the match at 7pm but we arrived after half time and our friend Amanda was waiting for us. We ran like mad and watched the last twenty minutes of the match. What an atmosphere. Amanda then invited us for an after match drink and to meet a few players. The thought of this evening was helping our tiredness disappear. I wonder why eh!!.
We met Amanda's husband Carl and chatted over a drink in the main hall. All tables were laid out ready for the after match meal. It was so exciting.Their we were enjoying our our drinks when suddenly a magnificent smell came flowing through the hall. It was the smell of freshly scrubbed ruby players. What an experience that was. For all those girls out there we recommend it. That's if your lucky enough to experience it. Lol. The smell was getting closer and guess what?. Standing so tall was was number 18 Christian Short. He came over to say hello to Amanda Kiff and also to us. We had the pleasure of meeting Christian in November at an evening that Amanda Kiff had organised. Amanda Kiff and Melanie posed for a picture while I was behind the camera. Amanda disappeared for a bit and when she came back she told us that we were staying for the after match dinner. Yes it's true we stayed for dinner. We were taken to a table where a very famous French rugby player was sitting with his family. At this point we were both thinking why didn't we have anytime to put some makeup on. This was potentially the place Melanie could meet Mr Right and believe me their were plenty of potential Mr Rights!!.The food was great and while Melanie Sat with Amanda Kiff I sat with Carl and we were totally and I mean totally mesmerised by the people around us. We were breathing Brive deeply.
Food and drink just kept coming and so did some of the rugby men. Each time they were saying hello to Amanda Melanie and I were up like a shot for Photo's. Andy Goode held our shoulders. we can tell you he was hot. If we were made of chocolate we would of melted in a second!!. Next was Gerome my god we must of been good girls to have enjoyed an evening like this!!.At 11.45pm we decided to head back to our Gite but as we stood up a man came over to Melanie and I and said " excuse me but can my friend be photographed with you?." why not we replied. We felt famous ourselves they guy who took the photo's was clicking away like the paparazzi. Afterwards he explained that the gentleman that we had our photo with was once a very famous French player and we have asked him to send us the photo's. How cool was that he wanted our picture!!!. We are so pleased we met Amanda and we are so into rugby now!!.
We got back home at 1.20am knowing that no dream would be better than the evening that we had just had!!.
So until next time....
