Good thing the judges didn't come round next month :)

Lol! No indeed! They all had to be finished by the end of August. I
can't remember when ours came but I do know we'd started to get just
faintl worried they'd forgotten us!

And the cakes and salads and lasagne and sausage casserole etc. etc!
Unfortunately, the day the judges came it was raining, so I don't think
they saw a lot of the garden somehow!

Congratulations, Sacha! And to Pauline, of course. Will it be in the
local press?

I think they post a long list of all who have won awards in some of the
local papers, yes and on their own web site. They also post on Twitter
as the results come out and then add the names to their website
www.tasteofthewest.co.uk (We're not on there yet, so I know there's at
least 7 Gold winners in our category!) It's a bit like Chelsea (!)
several people can win the same awards in all the main categories.
There were just over 300 entrants altogether this year, so it takes
them a while to get around to everyone. You don't know who your judges
are, of course, until they proffer a voucher to pay with at the end.
Our own participation aside, it's a great promotional vehicle for the
west and the many great places to eat and the wonderful locally
grown/farmed/fished produce there is here. It's helped to get away
from the notion that it's all a pint and a pasty or nothing! Thank you
for the congrats which I'll pass along. Pauline and her team have
earned it - all I do is wash up on busy days and do some of the
ordering, menu planning, occasional shopping, typing and general
dogsbodying!

Interesting you do Lasagne in your cafe. I was invited to join the local
Yacht Club and the first, and last, meal we had in there was their Lasagne.
Well my parents had a hotel so I know what good cooking is.
.......................... they are no longer the caterers in that Yacht
Club.

I'm sure you're being far too modest. You're all obviously doing
something right.
