All that is brightest and best turns out to be a large hangar full of stands selling discounted white goods, security systems, loft insulation materials and plastic window frames . A lot of very bored salesmen peer at us with hope in their eyes. We stop briefly to look at an improbably named ' Hawaiian ' gazebo, a newly carved stone dog , a replacement oven for the ageing ' vesuvius ' in the upstairs kitchen and a collection of fork lift trucks.Time from arrival to departure twenty two minutes.
'The font' notices that the next event at the exhibition centre is the '' Great Prune Show ". We both agree that sounds more interesting.
On the way home Angus tries a slice of pudding cake from the local patisserie. Sophsiticated it isn't. The consistency and taste of Christmas pudding surmounted by crunchy butterscotch icing. Even Angus finds it a little rich. We have a light dinner.
Was Hollande in the Prune Show?
ReplyDeleteYou mean you don't need a touch of Hawaii in the back yard? lol
ReplyDeleteI'll be anxiously awaiting the report from the prune show!
seeing the rich pudding door stops . . .
ReplyDeletecouldn't help wondering if the village bakery wars are still going on?
and ditto houndstooth!
couldn't have said it better! lol.
I would take the dog!
ReplyDeleteThe pudding cake does look a little heavy on the stomach.
ReplyDeleteWe would have voted for the Prune show, too.
