Closing, thanks & cheesy jingle Pics of Paintings, Festival & Recipes below: I was thrilled to be invited to do a demonstration at the 2018 Jimmy’s Festival in Ipswich at Jimmy’s Farm. At Jimmy's Farm all year round you will find a working farm, wildlife park, adventure play, shops, gardens, a restaurant, a farm shop and butchery. For Jimmy's Festival, it's all of the above and amped up some more for their annual celebration of music & food on the Farm on 21st & 22nd July, 2018! My food demo was hosted by TV Presenter Joe Hurd who did such a fabulous job all festival and Hardeep Singh Kohli who was also giving one of his brilliant food demonstrations. More on the festival in a bit, for now here are some of the images relating to the history and art of gooseberries from of the podcast.
