Hardwick Village Show - wish me luck!

[Tim Regan]

Hi All,

In a few minutes I'm off to the Hardwick Village Show 
http://tinyurl.com/5n5w3 to drop of my daughter Meg's and my 
entries. Meg is putting in a mosaic of a bridge over a river in the 
moonlight and a teddy-bear dressed in Japanese costume that she 
made. I'm showing a loaf of bread, a victoria sandwich, and a bottle 
of sloe gin. You get a rosette for gold, silver, or bronze and since 
there was only one entry in the sloe gin category last year I should 
be in with a chance there. Only I did mention that plan to loads of 
friends who felt spurred on to also make sloe gin this year :-(

The really tricky category will be the victoria sandwich. The show 
organisers stipulate the recipe so it's a bit like Formula One. 
There are apparently some very old ladies in the village who win 
that category year after year so the competition should be stiff.

Sadly I'm not much of a gardener so I couldn't enter any of the 
garden produce categories.

Anyway, wish me luck; I'll let you all know if I win anything.

Cheers,

Dumbledad.
