lillybettybabs Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'm on the Omlet stand on Sunday, if anybody is around then. ooo me too, I can't wait to waffle on about chickens all day! See you there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I know I'll end up even more smitten with chickens after a whole day talking about them! See you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'm back exhausted. Feet aching and throat dry. Well make sure you visit the pizza sampling just down from the stand followed by ice cream and cheese cake tasting and then round the corner for alcoholic ginger beer and other delicacies They forgot the fluffy chickens so I couldn't smuggle one but there is a most peculiar rabbit. Lots of interest in the products after a slow start but no orders taken on the day. Met quite a mixed bunch of people interested in chickens and quite a few who already had them but were interested in the houses. Have fun and wear comfortable shoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 There is nowhere to put your stuff, take as little as possible with you. I went home with bags full of garden bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Righty, have decided to go on Sunday. Will I need to take a packed lunch or can I scoff enough to fill me up on freebies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debbier Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I went today, with my sister: to the garden show, not as a volunteer, but I said "hello" anyway. It was funny to see stuffed animals in the eglus The garden show was good, and the weather was fabulous . I spent far too much money on plants and stuff but had a great time. I wasn't keen on the Ginger Beer (and preferred the wine on offer) but my sister loved it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I'm visiting tomorrow, and on the Omlet stand on Sunday, so I'll pop along and say Hi to the Omlet stand while I'm there. Hoping to take lots of photos of plants and show gardens, and not to spend too much money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Been there today and met Omletina and the rest of the team! Learned that you need a cardi as the aircon is quite powerful over the Omlet stand! Looking forward to working there on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docsquid Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I wouldn't rely on freebies unless you have a miniscule appetite. However there are some very nice stalls there selling really nice sausages, paninis, roast meat inna bun, curry on chapatti and various other yummy stuff, albeit for about £3.50 to £4.00 a pop. Still better than NEC Carpet Burgers though (so named by DH as he thinks they taste like carpet, although I can't say I've ever tried carpet!).

See you there I'll be the one trying to shepherd four children about We'll definitely come and say hi. I bought some nibbles to take with us so we shouldn't starve.
