It's Almost Christmas - Tuesday, 22nd December 2015 - with just a few lose ends to tie up....& New Year Update 22nd January 2016

So off we went to Deddington's December Farmers' Market meeting last Saturday which was great fun.  I sampled English wine from Chafor Wine Estate, delicious chocolate produced by The Chicken Shed, mouthwatering pastries from Paul of Cotswold Baking and super biscuits from Just Biscuits.

A bright morning became overcast and rather windy which failed to prevent eager shoppers from gathering in the heart of Deddington to make their regular purchases and extra buys for the Christmas festivities.

Chafor Wine Estate presented three different wines for sampling, a beautifully pink Rose and two splendid white wines.





Here are my photos of their stall.

The Market was lively and   engaging as usual and I bought delicious chocolate from The Chicken Shed.....

choosing their Glorious Chocolate with Mint and Camu Camu and their Vanilla chocolate for our Christmas at home treats.


I also chatted to the nice folk at Cotswold Catering and Just Biscuits.  The Craft Fair in Deddington Church was buzzing with Christmas shoppers too and I stopped by Vicki Hibberd's Silver Jewellery, at Mary Canny Glass Designer, Virginia's Fair Trade stall and to Sue Merry for her very pretty cushions and pin boards.  I absolutely adore having pin boards for all those little notices and cards you must keep in sight and Sue's boards are very desirable.

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas which seemed to last for much longer than usual and we hope you did too.

And now in January 2016 and tomorrow Deddington will host their first Farmers' Market of the year and we're going to see who's there and hopefully do a little shopping.

Maybe we'll see you there too!

Happy weekending folks....
