old stick in the mud
Up earlyish and down to Fosters Butchers to pick up 300 burgers, 300 spicy Lincolnshire sausages and 200 slices of drycure bacon for JoeFest. 700 large white bread rolls tomorrow from Morrisons.
Swung by Waitrose for a couple of croissants for breakfast and then out to the farm. I was about to put the meat in the chiller when the HSS van hire guy turned up with the generator. Unfortunately for him his lorry got stuck in the wet field and we had to get a friendly farmer, Joe, to pull him out – see vid below.
Whilst this drama was developing the portaloo man turned up with 4 toilets and then some unannounced guests turned up looking for a chicken farm.
Finally the tesco delivery arrived. We took up a whole van except for four trays! Better shift it all that’s all I can say although the beer will be on sale or return.
Back home the event is starting to come together. Weather could be a little kinder but hey… We have the marquee.
