Just back too, and I thought it was a big success - well done Rosemary and Dan (who's getting greyer with each show
)
In past years we've barely spent more than 1/2 an hour in the front hall, being with the stock the whole time. This year we brought no stock, just produce. That section is now on the balcony in the front hall and attendance has increased manyfold, like Oxford Street coming up to Christmas
. People can see the section and swarmed up to see it. Entries were great too, and sooo many eggs
. Let's hope this encourages even more quality entries for next year
I always buy something from the basketmaker, so I have quite a selection of baskets for gathering crops, firewood, going shopping and carrying fleecey stuff. This year I bought a beautifully shaped basket with a handle, called a forager's basket. We bought it last night before the poor man had even finished unpacking his wares
. I love it
I don't think I've done so much talking since last year, so now I'm croaking a bit and mr F is whispering
.
So all in all, a brilliant event. It seems hardly any time since Rosemary was mooting the idea of a smallholders show, and now see how far it's come
