well that was a very interesting day out, apart from the hedge contest which was great just on its own, there was my friends Pete and Anna from the Bulworthy Project, there was a guy making fence hurdles, leatherworkers, spoon carvers, bow maker,walking sticks, old tools for sale, bakery contest and the WI food tent....burger and flapjack for lunch..yum yum!! I went across country trying to avoid main roads as much as possible, had to go OVER the M5 at Tiverton Parkway then back into the lanes to finally arrive at the site.
