We had a stall at our local agricultural show of Dufton. Ron helped Angela set up and then cycled back to the winery to open. Angela had a successful day, only slightly marred by the incessant commentary from the nearby show jumping. She had no idea there were so many horse riders around. We did not enter any of the wonderful classes in the industrial tent like 'cake made by a man', 'the most items in a match box' and '3 carrots'.
The art exhibition finished on Bank Holiday Monday and the next week was occupied with taking down the exhibition and paying the artists who had sold works. We sold over 40% of the work, which in the present climate we are very pleased with.
We counted the votes for the favourite work of art and will announce the winner soon when we've told her/him and arranged how to publicise it. Watch this space!

We've also been pressing beetroot for our spiced beetroot wine. This has a spectacular purple colour which is seen here.
