The Big Green Food and Craft Festival

We had another fun day out yesterday along with Tom and Anne and the boys and Anne’s parents. We went to Beningborough Hall, a National Trust property which is quite near to York. They were holding their first Big Green Food and Craft Festival.

Fortunately it was a nice day as most of the events were outside. There were various stalls to wander around and things to learn, such as how to make charcoal, how to compost and also lots of events for the kids including icing biscuits and making scarecrows. It was just nice to be at an event where they were promoting organic food and recycling and reusing as much as possible. There was also a tent which had lots of stalls selling crafts and foods. My favourite was one called Quernus Crafts and the woman behind the stall told me that she gave up working as a lawyer to make the cutest little fimo creatures. I particularly fell in love with the cats. they were just so cute, with the sweetest expressions on their faces!

A brilliant day. We ate loads and wandered around, and Anne and I finished up the day with a quick turn around the house. It was very pretty, but we were more interested in the interactive portrait maker, even if I don’t think it looks like us at all!
