In-cider trading

Ready for Saturday's picking!

Newton Abbot Antiques Fair and Powderham Food Festival in one weekend...thank you South Devon for spoiling us! 

The fair on Saturday was great fun and we picked some real treasure for our next fair on Saturday 19 October.  Our trip round Newton Abbot was really fruitful too, as 2 Harris Tweed jackets and a tailored dinner suit from 1972 proved, and speaking of fruitful we enjoyed a stop off at Ye Olde Cider Bar for a cheeky pint too. Ye Olde Cider Bar is well worth a visit especially as it hasn't changed in the 1700s, we always feel very comfortable in there (but we're not quite that old)!

After that Phoenix Sound were holding a in-store gig with Wildwood Kin playing as well. Folk-ing fantastic!

On Sunday, the sun came out, just in time for the Food Festival at Powderham Castle.  We weren't sure of the layout and as we arrived there later than expected we spent most of our time in the BBQ area (with another cheeky cider or two). The highlight was of course the Chilli Eating competition especially as one of the Old's Cool Traders entered and got through to the 5th round. Not bad going when there were only 8 rounds in the competition this time. Not sure if his tummy will agree though!

With the pickings we bought on Saturday there's going to be even more goodies on our stall at the next fair. Come down to the Strand Centre on 19th October to have a look but get there early to avoid disappointment!

Feel the burn!
