We had a pretty good time
Celebrity spotting ...
Tony who? Joe who? Said OH
We found a few veggi gardens (I bribed the boys with the promise of an ice cream for this photo)
Ice creams and the cactus and suculent stand - what more could a girl want?
Not to have her photo taken unexpectedly it seems...
So what did we think?
Well we didn't stay that long - just over 2 hours was enough for the boys so I guess we barely scratched the surface but all in all it was a sucess. The food was horrendously pricey but as the Good Food Show was next door it seemed rude not to try a few samples. There were some very silly things to buy, I failed miserably - I only managed to buy one £1 packet of seed. But there were some lovely moments (why did that man have a red and white sheep slung over his shoulders?) and a nice atmosphere to the whole place. The ask the expert bit was very middle England and easy to mock but what's not to like about people being passionate about their sweetcorn? So all in all a good afternoon out, I probably wouldn't have been as happy if I'd driven further or I'd paid £21 per ticket and next time, I'm sorry boys, I'd leave you at home.
This evening we got back to the lottie and I pulled weeds with new vigor. I'm so close to finishing 2009 winter digging - maybe by the end of the week.
well it sounds like it was a nice break from the weeding....I haven't been to the plot in a week to do anything constructive and I'm off out for the day wednesday so it may have to wait a little longer yet...good luck with the digging!!
