Next week we'll be at GIFTED in the RDS

This weekend we are packing up the chocolates, fudge, cheese , hampers, yogurt and soap and heading to GIFTED in the RDS. If you’ve never been it’s a contemporary art, design and artisan food fair, where every designer and producer is Irish. There are really beautiful stands there and it’s a lovely way to spend a day or evening sorting out all your Christmas shopping.  You will find us in the artisan food village, and if you say to anyone on the stand you are an email subscriber we’ll have a free gift for you as a thank you, it would be lovely to see you there. The fair runs from Wednesday 30th Nov to Sunday 4th 10.00 to 21.00hr Wed to Friday and 10.00 to 18.00hrs Saturday and Sunday.

In other news we are tiptoeing around some junior shepherds  as its exam time and stepping over another one as he is in soccer coma there is so much of it on the TV 😊 But lovely to have them around so I’m not complaining.
