Not a walking stick in sight

This weekend we attended our local Village Day, which is held every summer in the village where we live.  It’s always a super event, but somehow it seemed especially good this year.  The wonderful weather helped, and there was a fabulous atmosphere.

 

Events like this where various local traders display their wares is of interest to us in a professional way too, as people often sell walking sticks, hiking sticks, trekking poles and the like.  The business we run sells walking aids – including walking sticks and sticks for walkers – mainly via our website.  So it’s always interesting to get an opportunity to check the opposition.

 

Well, there were no walking sticks in sight.  Great an event though our Village Day was, this was an occasion the opposition had shunned.  I must say that in many ways we felt quite relieved.  It meant we could enjoy the day to the full without having to compare our prices with other people’s or see what range of walking sticks someone else was selling. 

 

Yes, it was a great day!
