Is anyone going to the Real Food Festival at Earls Court next weekend?

Tigger (& Lyndon), Seedling and I are going again as it was so brilliant last year. I had the world's worst cold last time and couldn't taste or smell a thing so am determined to make up for it this year. I just hope Tigger has strong enough arms to stagger off with all her purchases; I had doubts she'd make it last year.

I'm soooooooooo excited! I wonder if it's possible to walk whilst wearing one rucksack on my back and another on my front? Will I be able to see where I'm going?

Dear Tigger, i'm sure if James Martin asked you to carry two rucksacks like that, it wouldn't be a problem at all.
Infact, you probably could juggle five flaming hoops at the same time as well.

Easily OH.

What's the dress code then - smart or casual?

How smart can you be covered in food filled rucksacks and carrying food filled cool bags?

Remind me not to buy any Tallegio cheese this year, poor Seedling nearly abandoned me on the tube as it smelt so bad as I had a cold, I couldn't smell a thing!

I can't wait to try all that nice food, and actually taste it

I'm sure what ever you ladies decide to wear you will look stunning, or would i be better saying you will stand out in the crowds.

Hope you all have a great time this weekend.
JB.

If anyone can get to Earls Court, it is well worth a visit; there are some wonderful exhibitors and all small. specialist companies, not a multi-national to be seen.
