Choices, choices...
We had a great time yesterday at the Derbyshire Food & Drink Fair, although slightly relieved we did go yesterday, which was warm enough, as I imagine today will be a real scorcher. Here’s a few thoughts and photos, in case you are wondering either whether to go, or what you missed!
BFF & MGG lead the charge towards great food
This was about 11, with a reasonably quick queue. It got very hectic!
Good food and sunshine...perfection
As you can see, perfect summer’s day, perfect location and surrounded by great food and drink. See, you can keep Earl’s Court, this is a food festival. Yes, you’re right, one day I must stop being bitter about not going…!
Queue for Brian? Not when I can sit here in the shade, thanks.
Every show had them queueing round the grounds. I like Brian Turner, but I like shade on sunny days more.
But he still pulled a crowd, and onlookers
Not to mention the sensible lot that sat at the back of the tent in the shade!
The empty spaces tell their own story!
It was fantastic to meet Wendy and her husband from Quirky Cookies, and great to hear what a busy day they were having. There’s a digger missing as that went home for Dr T.
The spoils we bore triumphantly home!
Loved everything on here, except Yumberry, which wasn’t my taste and I really don’t need a juice packed in China. I loved the ice creams from Yee Kwan, and found Yee really engaging and knowledgeable. We’re hoping to book one of her tricycles to come to our Party in the Park next year. My prize for sheer enthusiasm, though, goes to The Chilli Jam Man. Knowledge, passion, enthusiasm and great tasting products, even for a wimp like me on the chilli front. And expect reviews of the Spicentice packs as I work my way through them.
But all good things have to come to an end…
What our feet needed to do by the end of the day!
Love to know if you went and how you found it. What did you get?
