It was Hardwick Middle School Summer Fayre on Friday evening. It is organised for the kids by the kids, and Big Miss and two of her mates had a stall! And very popular it was too, by all accounts.
I didn't get to go - someone had to collect little W from nursery and make the tea, but I did see the preparations in the kitchen and the missus took her new phone to take some pictures.
You may be wondering what those buckets are for. Perhaps if I show you what is in one of them you might guess the horrible sticky truth.
Yes, it's porridge. And the next bucket contained lots of baked beans. But no, they are not to feed the hungry hordes. Instead, they are for the perennial favourite stick-your-hand-into-something-horrible-and-find-what's-in-there. You get one go of sticking your hand in and have to find all the marbles to win a sweety prize. Lovely!
Similarly with the beans. At least they provided a couple of buckets of water and some paper towels for people to rinse off the goo. Fortunately I didn't get to see the end result in the porridge bucket as people had a go in both buckets but only washed their hands after the second. Big Miss said it went a bit of a yucky colour. I don't think you would want to see it either, so instead here are some cakes on another stall.
