| NEXT SHOW |
| 1st to 31st August, August, Not a bloody thing!!!!!!!!
Hang on, it would be jolly nice to sell some of our excellent oils and spices, plus the smoked garlic is in from Mdme P, so why not give it a go. We might be able to stretch out a languorous arm from under the family parasol and answer phone or email. |
| 11th September 2010, Coleshill Estate Food Festival, A reaally lovely day out for the family in this wonderfully preserved west country estate. Displays and demonstrations are tucked in amongst all the lovely food and drink from local producers, including us in the Rickyard, next to the oil tank if truth be known, but we're not fussy. See you there and bring the children! |
| 26th September 2010, NSPCC Country House Car Boot, Thanks to the lovely chaps at Goldman Sachs and the fine management of our economy we are now so poor that we have been forced to send our butler 'Dunnit' to the local estate to sell off the family treasures at Lodge Park, Sherborne. We'll have some of our lovely oils and spices and other bits and pieces for our lovely customers. This is easily the smartest car-boot in Gloucestershire - Range Rovers only Love - and you can find some seriously great bargains here. |
| 30th September 2010, Newbury RDA Autumn Fair, Organised by the lovely Carolyn Whitehead on behalf of the excellent Riding for Disabled Charity which is so worthwhile you could almost go to the fair and just give them the money. Instead, call me crazy, you could turn up and buy something, then everyone's happy, especially us if it's some lovely oil. Put Hillfields Farm in your TomTom and see where you end up, Poland probably - personally I use a map, thanks Vasco. |
| 19th October 2010, Marie Curie Autumn Bazaar, Hark Forrard and my old man's a baronet, etc. This lovely Christmas Fair is organised by the wonderful members of the Meynall & South Staffordshire Hunt and promises to be yet another great day out for shopping and socialising. Plus, if you happen to be selling a bit of quality oil, they lay on some cracking curly sandwiches hiding the only meat paste you will find outside an Enid Blyton story with the Secret Seven - 'Oh George, don't let Timmy do that. It's frightfully unhygienic.' Said Peter. |
| 29th & 30th October, Christmas Fair 29th & 30th October 2010, Held at Cheltenham Racecourse, the Christmas Fair is a great venue for gift shopping, with fashion, gifts and food for all. We can see the racecourse from the house so the commute isn't too much of a hardship, but you need to get down their yourself for the shopping. Don't forget to come by and say hello! |
| 3rd November 2010, William's Fund Christmas Fair, Roll up to this super little show at Gerrards Cross Cricket Club to gaze in wonder at Johanna's sheer nerve in wearing the same rather saucy number that she's been teasing the punters with for the last three years. Okay, any woman will tell you that she's showing off and it still fits, bitch! A great Christmas shopping show with just a few carefully selected purveyors of great stuff (plus us to lower the tone). We tried to escape but she wouldn't say no and put us in the bloody brochure anyway!. She is simply without mercy, especially when she's holding that whip. Oh, and the boots................And I've been such a naughty Santa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| 18th November 2010, Skylarks Christmas Fair, Holmepierrepont Hall in Nottinghamshire is the venue for this great Christmas fair - sadly lacking the aforementioned Charlie Barnes - but a cracking show nonetheless. You have to drive past all the wet lovelies clad only in a canoe and get down to the hall itself. Lovely building full of super people selling terrific stuff. Say hello but save your cash for us. |
| 24th - 27th November, Christmas Grand Sale, Held in the Lawrence Hall of The Royal Horticultural Halls in Victoria, six minutes form Victoria station if you're carrying some heavy shopping. A great venue for Christmas shopping, gifts and food and pretty much anything in between. |
| 25th December 2009, Christmas, Right, all C-A Family and assorted hangers on and freeloaders are under standing orders to repair aboard the good ship Villars for family Christmas. No excuses, boyfriends or previous engagements accepted. Stockings on beds for Santa by 2200 of 24th inst after suitable carolage and a couple of yards of the Farquhar smoked salmon.
