The weekend

Well after a shaky Friday - feeling really pants - we had a good weekend. the Luton Food Festival was a small success with Steve pleased with himself as he was interviewed on BBC 3 Counties radio and he sold a jar of marmalade to Esther Rantzen!

We had beautiful weather all weekend, especially on Sunday at the Tractor Rally in Haynes, it was great to see some many people out enjoying the day, personally I can't get enough of the traction engines, but even the stationary engines are amazing what a difference these engines must have made to the lives of ordinary working folk when they came to farms. Attending this event has marked Humbers Homemades 2nd Birthday, thinking about have a special offer to celebrate this event, so watch this space!

We placed an advert in the Bedford Raring2Go magazine which goes out to the lower schools in Bedfordshire and it has really made my web visits go sky high I have had nearly 2000 more hits this month than last month! amazing!!

I am now the proud owner of 5 bags of bedfordshire grapes!! now I know that my dad would make wine from them but seeing as I don't drink and I tend to be very impatient - wine taking a year or so to make to drinking - Bedfordshire Grape Jelly it is going to be, only thing is I don't know what the pectin levels will be like so it may be a bit of trial and error!

We have an exciting day tomorrow, my biggest is 16yo so party hats all round I think.

Anyway off the squash grapes now.

I'll write again soon, Vickie
