All hallows is nearly upon us and the funk of Monday is relieved only by the knowledge that another Carnival of the Green is born and this time we are taken to Groovy Green.
Next weekend the Soil Association Scotland presents an Organic Food Fair at The Old Fruitmarket (cracking venue) and nearby Glasgow Metropolitan College. There are going to be loads of stalls, and not just of the food variety. I may have to relent and get something from the Coco Chocolate stall, I'm very good when they appear at Edinburgh Farmers Market but it can't last, their stuff looks just so very tasty. Bellfield Organics will be there, we get some veg from them when they appear at the market. Black Isle Brewery is a favourite of my boyfriend and whilst I don't eat anything that Summer Isles Smokehouse produce (I'm vegetarian) I have been to their premises on holiday in stunning Achiltibuie and the fish-eaters in my family declared the smoked salmon to be delicious. They also sell smoked cheese from around the country so I may be able to pick up some yummy Grimbister from my home islands of Orkney.
I love Mondays...I used to hate them but the Carnival of the Green just cheers me right up.
Wow! Coby alone raised over £500 for his pyjamathon. Matthew and his family are making local news now and I certainly think we have all done good things here people. One family's massive suffering is made just that bit easier. Let's hope young Matthew makes a full recovery...
