Florence Avenue Allotments Open Day

Yesterday we were selling ice cream at Florence Avenue Allotments Open Day. It was a nice open day with vegetable curry and a beer tent. The weather was mixed but there was some sunshine. Thanks everyone who bought an ice cream!

Black Peas

We've bought a whole sack of black peas, 25 kg's, as now its getting to be black pea season. Most of these are for the Guide Dogs Open Day in Atherton on the 7th of September.

Cuerden Valley Farmers Market - August

It was a nice sunny day at Cuerden Valley but it was a little quiet. Maybe because it was the bank holiday weekend and there is a lot of other things on. We'll be back next month. We were selling black peas and ice cream.

Hoghton Tower Farmers Market - August

It really felt like Autumn at Hoghton Tower on Sunday. It was fairly cold and rained a few times, but mainly the day was full of freakishly strong winds. We did well in the end and sold all our soup and a lot of black peas. Thanks everyone! We'll be back next month with more soup and peas, when it really will be Autumn. Maybe it'll be nice and sunny.

Harpers Lane Allotment Open Day

We were very worried about the Harpers Lane Allotments Open Day this year as the forecast was for ex hurricane Bertha to bring us terrible weather all day and we thought no one would come. Luckily the rain eased at twelve and then it even went nice and sunny for an hour or two. Lots of people came along and it was a great day, until the rain returned at three. We sold lots of ice cream and cheese. Thanks everyone for coming along!

Romiley Farmers Market - August

It was a miserable day for weather for Romiley Market this month. Sadly it was very quiet as not many people came out. We'll try again next month. The Stockport Ukulele Players were playing and were a good laugh. There were a lot of them.
