So we decided to come across all River Cottage and Enter the local horticultural show. We all looked through the program and decided to enter a few different things.
I entered just two categories, Stoned fruit (5 in a dish) and soft fruit. I picked some plums from the tree trained on the back of the container, but they all had a few bits of damage on them. Instead I went for the beautiful little gages.
Eldest entered scones, a Victoria sponge and a trio of tomatoes (I said I wouldn't feel right if I entered them as she's done all the work.
Middlest entered a Sunset photo and a Victoria sponge - a bit of competition between my girls.
I got second on the soft fruit and third with my gages (out of three lol!).
Youngest got first for his picture, Middlest got for her Victoria sponge, Eldest got first for her Victoria sponge and second for her scones and First for her tomatoes.
The Horticultural society were lovely as well as they invited me to have a stall there for the afternoon. It was great fun and loads of people I knew were there, Middlest helped with the stall all afternoon as well.
Good fun and a proper bit of village life. We'll have to enter more next year!
