The Current Edition: Summertime! and the Selling is Cheesy...

Note to faithful readers: sorry couldn't resist the pun but I had to Say Something as these UK cheeky blighters have been having a great Summer and we are still at least a month behind temp and garden wise! (not fair, I am posting my complaint to the met as we speak)

*** Update to the Where are They Now:
We will be at the Samuel Barlow pub in Alvecote (B78 1AS for you landlubbers) from July 8th through July 10th, attending the traditional Boaters' Gathering on Friday and Saturday and the Summer Fair on Sunday. There will be fundraising stalls from tombolas to welly wanging, unique gift and craft stalls, trading boats, open historic working boats to view, vintage motorcycles, tricycles, face painter and glitter tattooist. Ryknild Rabble Morris Dancers will be performing, there will also be childrens rides, free boat trips, and More! We will have all our yummy cheeses onboard plus a nice selection of the delicious chutneys we carry - see you there!
