Party In The Park


Today I popped over to Wollaton Park, as it was hosing a food & drink festival.

It was quite interesting to see all the different food and drink that was on offer. All grown or made locally.Yes, I know Pimms isn't a local drink, but I like the red of the marquee against the colour of the hall and stormy sky.

Besides food related tastings, there was also some cookery demonstrations hosted by well known chefs. I missed the one by Levi Roots, but sat in the ones by the Fabulous Baker Brothers and my friend Raz, who owns the Curry Lounge restaurant in the city centre, which was famously criticised by Gordon Ramsey a couple of years ago.

The show also featured varied arts and crafts, including glassblowing, a blacksmith an painter and some woodworkers who were using chainsaws to create sculptures from tree trunks.

Cheers!


I paid my first visit today to the food and drink festival that's presently on in the Old Market Square until Sunday.

It was sunny and warm for a change, and you could see the difference in people. They looked happier, especially with not having to wear anoraks and carrying umbrellas.

There are quite a number of stalls selling different foods. Some of which I might try tomorrow.

My eye was drawn to this guy and his comic T shirt. Especially as I managed to show the beer tent in the background!
