Bolton Food Festival Photos

Well, I did my best to advertise Bolton Food Festival on Friday but I didn't get around to uploading any photographs so here is a selection.

Just one of many bread stands

Tempting but I went for Chicken Noodles

Indian food (like mother used to make)

Indian again - what's Tuk and Pau?

Now that is different

But Chas stuck with these favourites- Stilton Crust,

Pork with Apple & Cider, Wild Game & Red Wine

This guy was tall - are these Polish Sausages?

Giant Burgers

and some a bit different

I fell in love with Rhubarb & Apricot

and decided on a Chocolate Diet

But settled for Fudge

The inevitable kitchen gadgets

some gift ideas

Spirits (as well as beer tents etc etc)

and my lovely soap man, Brian Hood

(www.signaturesoaps.co.uk)

We got to see Bridie The Tea Lady who comes all the way from Ireland and 'clicked' with some of the local lads

She could whizz those long legs higher than I can

and Plucky the Giant Chicken delighted kiddies all over

Whilst some folks just relaxed with a beer (or wine or champagne or ...) whilst listening to live entertainment

So why not come down and see for yourself

Open Sunday and Monday from 10 am

and bring the kids to meet Katy Ashworth from CBeebies and catch one of her shows or decorate a cake with her on Monday.

Oyster Stamps Blog Hop Starts Here

Well, here we are with news of the much awaited Blog Hop from Oyster Stamps. You will notice, since the last one, that the Design Team has grown and we welcome the new members knowing you are all looking forward to seeing the diverse styles on offer.

Now remember, with a Blog Hop you have "to be in it to win it" and we have a fabulous prize for the lucky person(s) who visit each and every one of us and leave a comment. One person will receive the stamp of their choice from the Heartfelt Creations Poinsettia range and a Memory Box/Open Studio/Distressed Holiday Collage die. But it doesn't stop there, there will be a runner up who will receive a stamp of their choice from the Heartfelt Creations Poinsettia range. So if you want one of those fabulous stamps your journey starts here.

Leave a comment below this post and then tomorrow visit Pam and leave a comment under her post. Similarly on Monday visit Martine and leave her a comment and so on. If someone you know joins in late then they simply need to come back to here and start over - you must have commented on EACH ONE to be in with a chance to win.

I decided to make a couple of Christmas Cards for my contribution but soon got carried away with the lovely array of stamps and ended up making five and put them in a box so they can be given as a gift to someone.
