August Bank holiday must see lots of local agricultural and horticultural shows around the country- in Notts the Moorgreen Show is the popular one.
Usually we are away visiting family, but this year we were at home so we had the chance to enter the honey show and we were keen to have a go at wax. We had good results earlier in the year with our solar wax extractor- recently the weather has not been as sunny so results have been a bit hit and miss, but there was enough wax to try and make the 6 one ounce bars needed to show.
Results - we entered the Light Honey, Set Honey and Wax classes , first prize for wax, and thirds for both honeys. The next show is Lowdham at the beginning of October- I am hoping to enter honey, wax and cake!
(Note : I wrote this post and scheduled it on the 24th August so not sure what happened here, but this post seems to be out of the timeline!!)
