Finally recovered from the heat and humidity of the first open day at the Tatton show, And now the answer to the question everyone's been asking, how have we done?
It's A Gold!
Greenhaugh jumps for joy!
You had better watch tonights tv coverage for an explanation of the above headline, sufice to say ian had more bounce than Zebidee.
Considering some members of the team thought the best we could achive was a silver gilt, to win the third gold was the icing on the cake. To say we are chuffed is an understatement.
Once all the interviews and filming is completed the pressure is off and everyone starts to relax.
