It was a drizzly day at Hoghton Tower for our last market of the year. We were selling hot soup, black peas and ice cream. It was a pretty good day but not amazing like last years. Thanks everyone who came along, we'll be back in January.

Romiley Village Market - December
Another massive storm this weekend, Cuerden Valley on Sunday was cancelled, luckily before I'd started making my soup, but Romiley moved into the Forum Theatre so was still on. Phew! Thanks everyone who came along, it was good in the end! I've only got some creamy lancashire left so I'll eat that myself. Here's the room before it opened. We'll be back in Romiley in March.
We've just got Hoghton Tower Farmers Market next Sunday before we finish for Christmas so lets hope the weather is less extreme.

Triangle Craft Fair
We were at the Triangle Church on Saturday for the annual Craft Fair. The weather was horrible, the snow and sleet and ice were washed away by the torrential rain from Storm Bert. We still had a great day though, thanks everyone for still coming along! We sold the same amount of stuff as last year when it was nice and sunny. We had cheese, bakes and ice cream.

Hoghton Tower Farmers Market - September
Hoghton Tower Farmers Market has been very good recently but I was worried for this one as the weather forecast was bad. It rained all day, sometimes heavily, but it was still a good market. It was surprisingly busy. I think this was the best Hoghton Tower in the rain, that we have ever done. Thanks everyone!

Cuerden Valley Summer Fair
The weather was bad in the morning for the Summer Fair. It was cold and rained really heavily. Luckily it stopped about half eleven so some people came out, and there had been a 10k run and some of the runners and watchers came to see the fair too. We did well on our hot soup and black peas, not so much on the ice cream. We had a decent day in the end considering the weather, if it had been sunny it would have been really good.

Hoghton Tower Farmers Market - June
We tried out our new gazebo for the first time at this market. it is very yellow and very sturdy. I'm pleased with it. The market went pretty well, it only rained for ten minutes and then the rest of the day was nice. We'll be back next month.

Heaton Fold Artisan Market - May
We were at Heaton Fold Artisan Market on Sunday selling cheese, bakes and ice cream. It was alright. I was feeling gloomy as we were planning to do the Harpers Lane Allotments Plant Sale but it was cancelled late on due to the forecasts of thunderous rain. In the end the weather wasn't that bad, but the forecasts had been terrible so I can see why they did it. Heaton Fold kindly gave us a table space at the last minute. Thanks everyone who came along. We'll be back at Heaton Fold next month and will do the Allotments Summer Fair in August.
