'Cheerful Charlie'

18th September 2024

We had a lovely evening in the courtyard at the Stables at Sansaw for the end of harvest (nearly!) celebrations by kind invitation of Ceres Rural. 'Cheerful Charlie' of Clarkson's Farm fame welcomed us with drinks and delicious canapes.

It was wonderful to see lots of familiar faces and meet some new ones too. The sun shone and it was a beautiful evening - a nice change to be able to be at an event outside! We look forward to working further with Ceres Rural in the future.
