Saturday 13th September 2008

After so much rain Saturday was a gorgeous day – not that the rain would have put us off of visiting the Honey Fair.  We had a great time as a family wandering around – starting off, as always, at the WI stalls as they usually sell out quickly – homemade cakes and biscuits are so popular.  We perused the seeds and flowers, homemade cards, knitted items, wicker basets (mum bought 2 trugs for £1 each and gave me one – yay thanks mum x), handmade sweets, antique table and of course honey.  We noticed there were a few absences this year – charity tables running tombola, which the kids love and a lady who always dresses in Welsh costume selling jam – perhaps they didn’t want to chance the weather.

After walking round everwhere, we then walked around again buying honey, jam, biscuits, trugs, seeds and sweets (turkish delight).

I love the Honey Fair, it’s all set in one street so you don’t miss anything and its nice just to be able to wander up and down.  It does get busy and a bit crowded round the honey stalls but its fun and I now look forward to next year and hope the bee population doesn’t decline anymore.
