The title of this blog sounds like a fairy story although, trust me, it is not. Tree and I went to the Pershore Plum Fayre on Bank Holiday Monday to sell some of our wares and set up a lovely pitch in St Andrew's garden. The weather was good and we put all the mirrors outside. This attracted a lot of people, especially to Tree's lavender bags and weaving kits, which sold well. I then started to get a variety of people saying "Are you Tom Harvey then", having looked at my mirrors. This went on for some time until I finally had enough and said to one, particularly annoying, old gentleman," Who is Tom Harvey"? It transpired that there is a tree in the Abbey grounds that was crowned after a storm. Left with just the trunk of this huge tree the abbey paid for a sculptor called, you guessed it, Tom Harvey, to carve it. I went and had a look and was very impressed, not least by the fact that everyone thought I was him, after seeing my work. I wonder if Mr Harvey would feel the same way in reverse.
