Sorry I'm not recovered enough from my sickly summer, but Mr F has his ticket all booked so he will be able to enjoy the day. So if you see a wee bent old man in biker gear wandering around on his own, please talk to him

Tell him to come and say hello at the office -  just past the Saltire cafe   Will I call him Mr Fleecewife?

Yes fair's fair and he quite likes the name  or you could go for Gordon.  I'll tell him to drop by 

[smhowie]

He was there but the office was empty!  Still, he met plenty of folk and had a good day 
Oh and he bought me a new basket 

[doganjo]

The office was rarely empty,  I was working on my own until about 10.30.  I may have been in the adjacent office looking for something

[Fleecewife]

Oh that's a shame.  The man doesn't hang about, he whizzed round, spoke to lots of folk then came home.  That was probably another reason I didn't go with him - I like to take my time.


How did the festival go?  Was there good attendance at the new site?  Will it be at RHSground next year too?

We're contracted for three years so 2024 and 2025 will be there too

Nothing but positive feedback so far. A couple of small things we need to address for the future
The comment I liked best was 'it was a mini Highland Show but better and all indoors.' 

[Fleecewife]

That's lovely     I'll try to get along next year 

[doganjo]

Look forward to seeing you again Juliet!  Please hand about the office if I'm not immediately visible - I really won't be far away! 

We're thinking of putting it back to the Smallholders and Growers name - I don't know why the Growers part was dropped to be honest

Any feedback from Mr F?  Good and bad - privately would be best please

Are we? News to me 

[doganjo]

I had an email, maybe I picked it up wrong.  But I think we should anyway

[smhowie]

well whatever you decide to call it , I had a fantastic time. Keep up the good work.
