As you can see there are lots to draw the crowds.

It’s not often one is invited out to a royal reception, though yesterday was a little different.
We headed up to Prince town to the inaugural opening of Gather and Moor a hub for life in Princetown and Dartmoor.
I have some of my work there, seen above alongside one of Maker of critically endangered Devon stave baskets. s baskets.
Also bumped into and courtney king-prints
Shame that HRH had to nip off early.
One hope the Be bop stool had royal approval.
But a grand time was had by all.
