Is anyone going to Melton Mowbray?  We've not been before, and it's quite a long way, but Mr F is going to go.

I see there's a hog roast - anyone tried that before and what's it like?
What's parking like?
What are the handling facilities like?
Is there a huge queue to pay for your purchases?
Is there a huge queue to load your purchases?
Any good points versus any negatives?
Is there plenty of space inside the mart, or is it a horrible squash like York?

plenty of room at the market for loading unloading, undercover so weather no problem, always a queue for paying as so many buyers. They did hogroast last year served indoors as combined with get together usually music/dance.

Thank you harepits.  Mr F can be prepared to stand in a queue then.  That's a time I use a spindle  , or have a small knitting  project on a circular needle, but Husband doesn't knit or spin.  Guess he'll just have to gossip - he's very good at that 


Isn't anyone else going?  I'm quite surprised.

  yes we will be there from thursday morning putting the pig pens up. we don't do the hog roast we take a short walk into the town and dine out table for 20 - 30 isn ? works well for us.

I'm going too  . Probably not the hog roast though.

Mr F set off half an hour ago - it will be quite a long journey for him.   He looked at the idea of the hog roast, but as soon as he saw the word 'disco' he knew it's not for him 

I expect him home very late tomorrow night, hopefully with a couple of new sheep for me 
I wish I could go but someone has to stay here for the stock........
