Sage and Stone Day

Today I had the pleasure of attending the Artisan Food and Craft Fair at Sage and Stone ( www.sageandstone.com). The promised Indian Summer didn't arrive but the rain stayed off and they came in droves to sample the fayre. The blonde was manning the Callan and Harte stall next to the Porn Star's art, my first stop. She was wrapped in layers of wool and scarves while he sported a pale yellow polo shirt. We commented on his attire but realised it was all part of his ploy as one after one the women came over to first admire his biceps and then fall for the sales pitch. The blonde was seriously considering exposing some cleavage but I felt it was inappropriate next to the Old Mc Donald framed children's poem. She was consoling herself with the truly great pizza's from the pizza oven aboard "street pizza" as I continued to browse. The chicken and sweetcorn soup I had as a starter was fantastic but then it was on to the Aruna stall for Chicken Roganjosh and rice........yum! We sampled cheeses, ice cream, popcorn, rapeseed oil, crepes, bread, buns and dressings. I was very proud of my pumpkins until I saw the ones on display there. The Halloween cookie cutters had sold out but I got a fabulous pair of elbow length turquoise rubber gloves with a decorative cuff. For the life of me I can't decide whether to keep them in the kitchen or the bedroom !
