Thanks for dropping by. Hi Sylvie It was a good day. These village get togethers do help to build a sense of community and they are great fun too. Hello Amanda I'm delighted with the heater and with four adaptable burners it's hugely versatile! Hi Casalba Love the idea of a win your own breakfast stand. Brilliant! I expect health and safety have put paid to that. I'm amazed that we are still allowed cake stands at the village fete - perhaps their days are numbered too? Hello The Chicken Lady It would have been perfect too for your wonderful potting shed. Unfortunately you were still on the plant stall when I spotted it! Hi Magic Cochin The plants at the fete are always great and fill a lot of gaps for me in the vegetable garden. However an early fete often means a freezing cold and/or wet fete. We've been lucky with the weather these past two years but often the weather is dire. The scented geraniums were my first thought when I spotted it. Also I want to branch out much more in the greenhouse this winter. Sowing salad leaves and getting my seeds set early. Hi Veronica

Our Village Fete is at the end of June - a nightmare for the plant stall as most people have all the veg/bedding/new border plants they want for the year! Isn't it amazing how everything comes together on the day and how competitive the stalls get with each other! What a find for your greenhouse - great for overwintering the scented geraniums ;-) Celia What sensible time of year for a fete.
