Sawrey Marrow Show 2011

Sawrey Marrow show was held on a Sunday for the first time and they had a great turnout and hopefully raised lots of money for the upkeep of the Sawrey Institute.

These are just a few pictures from the event.

After the show most  people pitched up at the TBA for a few drinks and some supper.

A couple of dodgy geezers

I won a bottle of wine in the raffle and these stunning peppers  won 3rd prize

Chris won the heaviest marrow class and here he is being presented with his prize by Anthony of the TBA who sponsored the event

Its  usually the way a misty start turns into nice sunny day, and that was yesterday, today the opposite, it is dreary, damp, dark and cold!! other than that its fine.
I have been off to Kendal this afternoon and back on the ferry, all the signs say the ferry is closed and have done for a couple of days but it is operating normally, its obvious it is not a private enterprise but a council run operation, they must losing revenue just because the signs are wrong



As suspected the storm we had forecast never quite lived up to its billing although we had power outage (cut)  for a couple of hours yesterday.
The Isle of Man guests were sadly unable to travel, all sailings were cancelled, however another couple due to leave felt uneasy driving so they filled the vacant room for a couple of nights.
Its a bit brighter today although breezy with the odd heavy shower
