Countrytastic

It's the third year that the Three Counties Agricultural Society have held "Countrytastic" - it's designed to reconnect children to farming and food production.
The Agricultural Chaplaincy was there. Children decorated eggs & hot cross buns. They milled grain into flour and cooked pancakes. They made easter gardens and played with compost. 
The calm and order before the gates opened to the public quickly changed into a buzz of activity. We were "full on" from 10.00a.m. till it finished at 4.00p.m.
Children decorated close on 500 eggs, the same number of buns, made countlessgardens and ground large quantities of flour.

It was an exhausting but rewarding day.
