Today is time for the Wimbledon Village Fair. Now I didn't know about this until about three days ago. Despite living in Wimbledon since 1997, this was the first time I had heard of the village fair. But it's not something which should be turned down. Especially on a wonderfully sunny day.

The whole of the upper common area next to the Village had been converted into stalls for crafts, food and a variety of entertainments. Those that weren't outside were accommodated in large marquees.
And even buried in the middle somewhere were some old friends, such as the Wimbledon Bee Keepers.
Down at the far end, furthest from the traffic were some of our manure providers. That is to say, producers.
So after a about 4 hours and a few pounds lighter, monetarily as well as literally (due to the heat and sweat) it was finally time to leave and head for the plot to water the wilting plants.
Whilst watering them all, I accidentally knocked over a potato plant and exposed a tuber. So today's harvest consists of a single potato, some chillies and a few sprigs of mint. Oh what a feast we're going to have on that.
