Food Show

Sarah wrote recently about the Good Food show hosted by the BBC in Kensington Olympia which starts on Friday. It’s also on later in the month in Birmingham from the 22nd – 26th November. At present I’m in two minds as to whether to go and if so to which one.

After all of our ADSL issues we’re still down in Buckinghamshire staying with my parents (bless ‘em). When I first heard of the show I thought naively assumed that we’d have been back home in Cheshire by now, however the way things are going we’ll still be here for the week, which means just over an hour from Olympia by car and tube. Plus my Mum would be quite happy to go nosing around too! However the one idea that slightly puts me off is the let down that I won’t be able to see my favourite chef of the moment, Gordon Ramsey, at work as his shows look to have sold out and he’s only there on Sunday anyhow, and we would go up on Friday. However of course it wouldn’t be a massive let down and the show would still be worth going to. It’s quite a dilemma to be honest as we’ve spoken of just going home on Wednesday after our meeting and suffer a week of no ADSL (ie. a week off and digging up the garden in time for winter!), and considering we’ve not been home in 5 weeks the idea is very tempting, but at the same time, staying for a couple of extra days and going home on the weekend wouldn’t be so bad (you can tell I’m talking myself into this!).

Still, we’ll decide at some point over the next few days
