John, enjoy yourselves :gnthb:.

We shall be going to the Bennington Lordship Chilli Festival at the end of the month. It is always good but not as large as West Dean.

 

Thanks shiney, I will report back tomorrow

 

... oh thats a shame Aaron, you'll be going right past it. Yes it was great last year.

 

Watch out for me then Aaron, I'll be wearing a red, black and white striped T shirt pushing a buggy with my grandaughter who's got a tiny sombrero, maybe lurking around the beer tent :thumb:

 

I can really recommend this event. Apart from getting stung by a wasp and turning purple after sampling the hottest sauce on the Scorchio stand we had a lovely time there today. There was a company selling grow pots with automatic watering resevoirs, ideal for keeping plants watered whilst on holiday - I might invest in a set. Their tomatoes growing in their pots had stems as thick as my arm, I've never seen anything like it.
