    If you live in Kent or the surrounding area and fancy a trip to Faversham this week-end, Brogdale (the home of the National Fruit Collection) is holding it's 'Cherry and Strawberry Festival' this week-end.

    Please form an orderly queue .... behind me!

    My cherries and strawberries always get eaten by blackbirds - it's my own fault, I know. I don't put protection in place quick enough.
    We're away from Kent this weekend, otherwise I'd have been tempted to go, especially with another GC member in attendance!

    Brogdale is £8 for adults, £4 for children, under 2's free and includes cookery demonstrations, talks and demonstrations, plant sales, craft stalls, vintage farm vehicles and I want a go at the Archery as well as the tour of their orchards etc. Oh, and their loos even have a nice smelling hand-cream dispenser! Worth the trip in itself :heehee:
