Its that time of year where I start to get excited as the BBC Good Food Show and Gardeners World Show are nearly here.
I have regularly gone over the past 6 years and for the last two I have attended with my blogging hat on as well as just a keen visitor.
The event is so jam packed with things to look at or take part in, food tastings, bags of samples, competitions to enter,advice for the kitchen, home and garden.
Demonstrations galore and celebrity chefs and gardeners to spot, loads for the children to get involved in, gardening, watching food demos, learning about the countryside, plus they come home with freebie that are given away too. I always love looking for new gadgets to buy,seeing new plants to take home and foods to cook with.
My tips for a great day out, you can pack a picnic and sit on the hill while you watch gardening demos, the picnic may not get eaten as you will find you are handed so many different foods to try before lunch ,my two always make a beeline for the Carte D'Or stand, while I make a beeline to the wine tasting ...hic!
Invest in one of the wheeled carts for sale, not only handy to lug all the goodies you will collect and buy, but makes a fabulous picnic trolley and is so sturdy, making it over deep sand on the beach. Chris has made a lid for ours and it acts as a table for prepping food for the picnic.
Oh if you do buy or take a trolley please don't forget its behind you and
bash peoples heels, will save lots of angry exchanges!
Stay until the end of the day, they give out a carrier bag full of samples, money of coupons and competition leaflets.
Keep your eyes peeled, some rather tasty chefs are often wandering around looking at the stalls.
Finally if you go by car, make sure you check and note very carefully where you park, we spent the first year wandering in the wrong car park as Chris had looked at the sign for a different area, (they are reached by buses,to give you an idea of the volume of cars) we were not the only ones and each year we see scores of lost tired people looking for their ride home!
