We are, as a committee all trying to think of when we may get a moment on the day of Buckham Fair, to go and sample the food that will be on offer.
We spent a few moments trying to piece together who of us, ate what, at last years fair. I do remember the shreds of a burger being handed to me by a daughter as she jumped on her pony and sped off to win more rosettes, wasn't any left when she trotted up to me rosette in hand 10 minutes later. Life's all about choices!
When we finally had time to walk over to the Food Court at the end of the day, every crumb of food had been eaten. Not a slice of pizza, not a pancake, not a burger to be had . It was a time for mixed emotions. The thrill of knowing that the food had been a success, the despair of knowing that it was toast for tea.
Anyway, that was pretty much the story for all of us.
BUT, we are older and wiser this year and we are all booked in for breakfast with a lovely newcomer to our food court, 'Bringing Home The Bacon ', sausages, bacon and eggs, all produced on their farm and driven over to Buckham Fair Pony and Dog Show for us all to munch on.
We have such an incredibly delicious array of food on offer this year and plenty of it. We hope that everyone will not only come and eat lunch between rides on the Helter Skelter and watching one of our numerous ' spectacles ' but also stay and have supper whilst watching the lights of Beaminster, Bridport and possibly, Portland or Lyme Regis fan out below you and the sun setting over the sea.
We are staying open until 9pm this year, so take a seat on the Ferris Wheel and enjoy the view ( of me queueing for a pancake ).
More food news in my next blog. Am I becoming obsessive about it?
