It was 'Open Day' again on Sunday..... not so many people but then it was raining and cold and there was a show taking place at Woodhall Spa... However, we had plenty of food to eat and sell - including, for the first time, bacon, chops and joints of pork - and when all that was done and everyone gone home we settled down for a chat with the film-man (of whom more later) before going out to load up Nigella for her move to join Delia and Ainsley at the Butterfly Park.
