Open Day at the farm

Well, yesterday was the first Open Day of the year at Shabden Park Farm, and what a roaring success it was! Most of the usual suspects were there with their stalls, including Peter McCarthy, (probably the best baker in the county) Anila's, (I love their goan curry paste) Pimpernel Fisheries (mmmm... crab rolls!) and A Gem of a Cake - although I didn't get around to buying any cupcakes as I was pretty busy on the stall, I was eyeing them up! The Epsom spinners attended, and it was lovely to meet Jill and Christina. There was a straw bale climbing frame, tractor rides, shearing demonstrations and all sorts for the whole family. And the weather was beautiful throughout! We really couldn't have asked for more.

I have a large stock update to do, and will definitely get down to that this week. The days are much longer now, so I should still have plenty of light by the time I get home!
