Yahoo has shut down GeoCities! Ahh sad news. Well not really because although I look back at Geocities with fondness, they really produced cringeworthy efforts. It’s fairly easy to build a sophisticated looking webpage these days, with the advent of wordpress and blogger layouts. I certainly had an embarassing geocities webpage complete with scrolling text (oh god I actually remembered the html code for that), a visitor counter and a guestbook that no one signed. Happy days of the late 90s!

Last weekend we went to Nantwich’s Food Festival. There was a big marquee with lots of stalls showcasing thier wares and plenty of samples to try. Good news for a greedy person like me! I admit I sampled alot of cheese that day.

First stop was the Vegetarian Society’s “veggie sausage fest”, lots of meat-free sausages for us to try.

Boxfresh Organics had a lovely array of organic vegetables, including rainbow carrots and some pretty looking aubergines.

We went on a walk about eating wild food. This man is talking about plantain. It was really interesting. Make sure you know what you are picking, whose land you are on and that it’s not been urinated on by a dog before you eat anything!

I was given a 100% vegetarian sticker which I proudly wore on my bump to show baby will be a vegetarian too.

We wandered into the town centre where a Victorian fair was being held. Lots of stalls with people dressed up in costume. Here’s a policeman, he was handcuffing children.

Saw this not very Victorian but gorgeous long-haired Akita. Love those bear-like paws!

This is a very sleepy ferret.

This is a very cross owl.

Back at home and Mr C made me a birthday cake (I’ve just turned 31). He made me a carrot cake with cream cheese topping. He doesn’t like it so I ate the majority of it haha.
