I was stalling out at Bridport Vintage Market on Sunday and the girl on a stall next to me had been to River Cottage the day before but left after their gazebo was trashed by the wind and rain and their van got stuck in the mud ... such a shame.

I don't think I could have eaten it, you're very brave! Lovely to see the photos of the veg garden, that would have been my favourite spot too. I'm interested to see the lettuces spaced so far apart; maybe that's why the slugs keep getting at mine, they must be planted too close together!!
