@JohnDonoghue64 You are in for a treat, Countless cups of Tea and the wonderful WI Cakes. You may even get a tip of a jar of Jam or Chutney.
The busiest stall at our Village Fete is the WI Teas, Cake & Preserves stall, often found hovering near by is one of the local Police. ๐ฎโโ๏ธ๐ง๐ฐ๐ชโ๏ธ
This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Whereโs the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now itโs closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby@denbypottery
For those of you interested in celebrating our Mumโs life with us on Monday June 8 at 12 noon (8pm UK) Here is the link for the Live Stream.

@Ajaon_of_All@sainsburys Local farmers children (2 boys and a Girl) rear their own chickens for eggs and the table.
Started as a pocket money project, selling at the farm, now a full-time business.
Now they sell at 2 local markets and deliver locally.
Brown, Fresh & Full of Flavour.

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.
I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.
Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.
I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"
You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.
