Part two – Saturday
Saturday dawned clear and bright and we had a super sunny day with lots of punters. We’d allocated more bags to Saturday than either of the other days – just as well!! 😀
That morning a lady bounced in from the craft tent next door. We’d bagged her friends and she got the message! She also organises the craft tent for the Boconnoc Steam Fair in a fortnight’s time – would we like to attend??

Well, of course we would!! Only thing is, we would have very little stock to give away as we were busy handing it all out here and now. No problem, we’ll do a basic make and take workshop using handcranks as they generate so much interest (and work in tents), and concentrate on talking to people. This plan has the advantage of not putting noses out of joint on people who’ve paid for a stall to sell bags from! So guess where we’ll be in a week and a half or so?
Our food tent was a great place to spend time, and a super spot to catch people who’ve just realised they need a bag. This year there was a music stage on the other side of ‘The Cake Hole’ – our snack spot of choice (this year’s chocolate brownie with salted caramel topping was mmmmmmmm – I’m lost for words!)
Best band of the weekend IMHO was (and I don’t think I quite heard the title correctly) the soul band of the Salamanca Band and Bugles of the Rifle Brigade

Wow, that girl can sing! and the band are great musicians! On Saturday they played in uniform, on Sunday they paid 50p each and played in mufti. 😀
There were some great places selling food – as well as all the burgers and chips anyone could need. Opposite us in the food tent was Katie’s Cornish Hot Pots.

The stews looked delicious, but unfortunately we’d got stuff for a packed lunch on Friday. On Saturday though, I had my first taste of goat curry – a Jamaican classic that Katie said she’d learned to cook from her boyfriend.

Do you like the cool disposable, compostable container?
I took it outside where the steam engines were lining up
