Oh and since you ask, I won second prize for my carrots, my shallots and my potatoes, and third for my Housewives Choice selection basket of vegetables for the kitchen.

Oh dear, I fear I am turning into Jill Archer. Next year I'll find myself entering for the Knitted Teacosy section (you think I made that up, don't you?). When a badger attacked my carrots two nights before the show, I found myself considering whether there was a jealous villager with big carrots and a caged badger who was sabotaging my crops.
