Think my priorities are probably different to most when I'm planning to get there early for food.

It is less stressful with my £10 per bulb budget, I can just wait for the melee to die down then look for the cheap stuff  :)

That Myddleton list makes me so sad, although I cheer myself up by thinking that I probably wouldn't be aggressive enough to get what I wanted.  Richard, while you are waiting for the melee to die down and the £10 bulbs to be accessible, you could be filming  :D.

Will see what I can do, I'm at work for a few hours in the morning so not sure I will make the opening but if I can get there before 1030 I will try and capture the moment.

Another bitterly cold sale! Did film the charge so will add a link to the clip later, nearly didnt happen due to me hitting the off button instead of record  :-[

I looked for the 'brand new beauty' but they had all gone by the time I got to the front.
Almost in Scotland.

Was it very busy, Alan? It's a bright day up here which would bring out droves, I think

Hi Maggi, it was very busy and bitterly cold! The other half achieved all his targets, including the lovely 'Bumble Green', which looked even better then I remembered.

As suspected there were limited numbers and they went very rapidly. I don't know if any will be going to Harvey's next Saturday but it might be worth a look for those who were disappointed.  It is certainly as good as the other 'big hitter' that was on offer and  exceptionally good value in terms of price.

Do hope you are giving your "runner" a nice footrub to get the feeling back into his feet now, Blonde Ingrid - he seems to have done very well.  8)

He had a bacon roll and 6 espressos, which is plenty, I don't want to spoil him  ::)

6 espressos?!!!!! Good grief    :o- are your light fittings strong enough for all that swinging ? ( perhaps I might have worded that  better ... but I hope you know what I mean!?)  :-[

His resting pulse never gets above 40, no matter how many espressos I feed him ;)
