As most of you know who follow my blog, I was working
at the “Converstations” event that was held at Mount Stewart the weekend of
17/18 September. All workers had to be signed in by 8.30 am and on my first day I had my briefing in the Marquee at 9.00 am. The Marquee was one of the areas where the guest speakers gave their talks. CLICK HERE to see that area.
This
is the front of Mount Stewart House were all
were busily starting setting up
for the day.
There were over 100 volunteers working over the weekend
and this is the Stretch Tent where there was a bar and entertainment. You can see here where
other volunteer were being briefed.
These were a few of the volunteers waiting for their
briefing.
The
main Entrance Hall of Mount Stewart House was a beautiful setting for where other
speakers gave their talks.
This
was the Garden Shed area where over the 2 days different artist performed for
the public. These are 2 of the artists
setting up.
They played very alternative music.
This
was the Yurt and I decided to have a lay down and relax!!
(for
all of 1 minutes!!)
While
I was waiting for my briefing, Shirley came along to erect the flags along this
path and you will see her doing so on the video below.

I
hope you enjoyed seeing these photographs, tomorrow I will show you a few birds and Wednesday I photographed some of the artists.

Many thanks for visiting and also to all those who leave comments.
I like the pretty chairs with the light green cushions, and the beautiful chandelier and green columns. The yurt is so cute. But my favorite is this big red tent! It is so festive with the red color and flags! I have never seen one like it.
