What a great event. Dianne Curtin and Ruth Healy from Slow Food West Cork and myself had so much fun talking to all people - big, tall, small, young, oldish - everyone enjoyed themselves.
Denise from Bushbys Rosscarbery Strawberries showed us how to make the perfect strawberry jam - and although not a jam fan myself.....I had to admit that it was the most delicious jam I have ever tasted - and talked about her granddaughter and how she helps to make the jam at home. You can contact Denise or David on 023 8838140 or davidbushby08@eircom.net.
Mary from the Ballinascarthy Bakers was the delight of all children as she made scones with them. Everyone was able to stir, add, knead and form scones. A big tray was carried carefully
to the kitchen of The Blue 
Geranium Cafe where they were baked until golden brown. Let me ensure you, they tasted as yummy as they looked and Denise's jam was a perfect match. You can meet the Ballinascarthy Bakers Saturdays at the Bandon Farmer's Market.
Bob McCutcheon from the Irish Beekeeper Association brought honey I was willing to kill for. He gave us different types of flavours - whitethorn being my personal favour
ite. You can buy the honey in the shop of Hosford's garden centre.
Music was delivered by the Commodore Male Voice Choir from Cobh and the 3G's.
The Children's Art Competition was won by Grace Kearney, aged 8 with Ava Punch, aged 5 being runner up. We saw amazing talent within the children and can only hope that they keep at it - who knows, we might had the next Picasso amongst us yesterday.
Thank you to all involved incl. Hosford for their hospitality, the Commodore Mail Voice choir, The 3 G's and last but not least to Nick, our
camera man who volunteered his Sunday afternoon to catch the moments of our Grandmother's Day. He is now busy to edit the lot and we will burn a DVD of the event. Please let us know if you would like to obtain a copy.
