So the day has finally arrived and we have all just been to take our produce to the village show in the church hall in the next village. 7 members of our village sewing circle went in convey, tooting our horns as we left the village (the rest of the village must have wondered what on earth was going on!) I don't think we realised quite how seriously these competitions are taken and the fruit and vegetables looked amazing. So here are a few of our entries - my shortbread, Jess, Alison and Pauline's photographs, Joshua's vegetable crocodile and panda, Ella's decorated gingerbread men, Pauline's flower arrangement, Barbara's courgettes and my jam! We are all going back at 3pm to see how we did and to have a cream tea in the village hall! Even if we don't win, we had so much fun today and I am sure we will all be entering again next year!
Hannah, this sounds like so much fun! It makes me homesick for the village shows we had in Crail (Fife), where I lived on and off until I was 16. It's just not the same over here - village life doesn't exist in the same way. Maybe everything's too new. Or too spread out. I can't wait to hear how it all went!
ReplyDeleteOhh, everything looks so lovely! I am wondering how you all did! Good I hope! I used to enter the local fairs back home in Canada and have won blue ribbons for my baking powder scones, whoopie pies, embroidery etc. It's alot of fun, even when you don't win! I just love walking around and seeing everyone else's stuff!
