Ah golly and gosh Keef Im sorry I missed you. Always like to bump into you. At that point in proceedings I may have been focusing on getting a Burger and a cold drink...and indeed I did. Burger £2.30, cold drink 70p. I think the chaired arena where I had it was run by The Churchill Hotel as it had Best Western all over the stand. The burger was very substantial but a tad cold...it was a tad colder than the drink...whoops who said that!? No seriously it wasnt really. Burger would be recommended if they could manage to keep the thing a bit warmer before they give it to you as its a good size for hungry Horaces. I saw Howard earlier and had chat when on my way to photograph the flag raising ceremony
I hope you enjoyed your smoothy Keef. I saw there was a Smoothy Bar...oooh you smooth thing you!

The smoothy was lovely and a great day
All finished off by a lovely meal at the allotment(opposite town hall)
don't want to sound like a critic but i was a lovely meal all well presented, you do have to be patient as it takes a time to cook"! and the cost is a little higher than most.
but once the meal was on table (sorry plate lol) it was lovely, then had to have a pudding to!!
now im going to sit on patio with a few beers
whilst the sun goes down

did anyone else think that the snack prices were much lower than at the bleriot weekend?
i had a hot dog on arrival for £.1.50. proper sausage too, not the usual junk, then a carte d'or cornet again for £.1.50.
no complaints there.
the german sausage van was serving up some good looking fayre too for a reasonable price.

Yes Howard, I did think food and drink was more expensive on the Bleriot week-end.
Different stall-holders I guess - and less greedy ones too, probably made more money as they would have sold a lot more too.

i checked out the beer sellers and snack places this afternoon.
in my opinion they were all reasonable for an outdoor event, they have extra expenses and take a chance with the weather being right.
good luck to them if they made a bit of money this weekend.
the stalls from mainland europe were reasonable too, considering their costs in getting here.

HAVE to sAY very varied food stalls from abroad realy good.
Sadly my nougat stall didnt return this year, twas the best nougat iv tasted for some time.
Butcher from Faversham told me he has had a stall at this event since it first started and has never had so much trade.
