Today was the annual flower and vegetable show in the local village hall. I entered just 6 categories this year as I knew I couldn’t get down there on Sunday morning to put in perishable items as I would be serving breakfast to our guests.
The show was very well attended and I saw lots of my friends there and I had a cup of tea and a lovely piece of carrot cake whilst waiting for the prize giving.
I got two 2nds, one 3rd and two “highly recommended” so not bad for only 6 entries.
I was miffed our eggs only got a 3rd, I really think they should have been a 1st as they had the deepest yellow yolks.
But it’s nice to think my Blackberry jam and my Marmalade are up to standard, certainly our guests seem to think so.
I only managed to print 2 pictures of my container garden instead of 3 as the 3rd file was corrupted so I got a 2nd for that.
And a Highly Recommended for my piggies down on the farm.
All in all it was a good turnout and a bit of fun entering various categories. Here’s to next year and a few more entries.
