Ribbons!

Our contributions to the Home Crafts, and Flowers competitions at the Cumberland County Exhibition did well!  It's such a relief to check out the results, knowing it doesn't really matter whether you win or not, but see a couple of ribbons on our tags.
Although Mum's two submissions to the "national" competitions (Fleischman's yeast and Robin Hood floor) didn't win, her oatcakes came in second and her brown bread third. I'm pleased she received ribbons on her first time.

Second is the blue ribbon.

My two flower arrangements and my two flowers (phlox and nasturtiums) all came in second. I can pride myself on consistency.

Hm, seems like bigger is better!
