s’been awhile since my last post because my PC must have taken umbrage with a previous post as it wouldnt let me in to make a post LOL,luckily Phil made it better and now I can post again, s’been a busy week, suzie did the Real Food Show at Earls Court, yet again another financial disaster, it cost more to do the show than she actually took, but if you have 500 producers in one place and the entry fee is £20 I suppose thats only to be expecte( though it was well run etc and the gala night for the traders was great apparently ) ,most of the traders suzie spoke to all said the same thing, some good contacts were made but overall not a good weekend, I on the other hand , went to the Mid Wales Mouthful in Builth Wells, a well organised lovely show with incedibly helpful staff ( 3 cheers for you guys) with Anthony Worral Thompson doing displays on the Saturday and local Young Farmers having a cookery competion on the sunday, though IMHO it would be better as a one day food show or have a different celeb chef for the sunday as there was a marked difference in trading on the Sunday, all in all though a show that will go from strengh to strengh in the future,
Getting geared up for this weekend, Suzie is at Margam Park doing Fortress Wales which is a multi period reenactment and Im at Cosmeston Medieval Village in Penarth doing the Battle Weekend (the uprising of the Welsh against the English, guess we English lose again just like bloody rugby lol, ho hum )
Will post pics as soon as I have em of Rob who gave me invaluable help at Builth.
