Great stuff!

Thanks!

You are very welcome :-)

Aren't those costumes lovely?

Our ploughing matches are much less interesting :)

They are marvellous, aren't they.

[heliopausa.livejournal.com]

The costumes are spectacular! I really like that the horses have draught-horse feathering on their legs. :)

They are wonderful, aren't they.

So, by the way, is the Endor Speeder, though I'm a fraction likelier to be elected President of the Maldives than to make one. The child on it is very charming.

I, too, am a fraction more likely to be elected President of the Maldives.

If, by some freak chace, I did attempt to make one, the end result would involve a pile of mis-cut wood, some tears, and probably a trip to hospital.

If we are elected, I'm willing to job-share.

That sounds like an excellent idea.
