It's a bit of a miserable Saturday today, but good for the ponds at The Waters' Edge, and this is where there has been a small exhibition on Amber, as well as a few craft stalls. Below is a bit of blurb from the first panel, but if you want to know more then you have one more opportunity as the exhibition and craft stalls are there tomorrow too.
'Amber is a fossilized resin that once exuded out of the bark of trees. It is a light, organic substance that is usually yellow or orange in colour and often transparent. It is easy to carve and polish, which makes it a popular material for jewellery.'
A small piece of Amber as seen through a light box and magnifying glass.
A stall selling very good quality second-hand children's books at bargain prices, all in aid of the charity 'Safe Haven for Donkeys in the Holy Land'. If you're looking for cheap books for your kids, then this is the place to go!
Sweet! Not for sale though, unfortunately...
