We're actually making progress! I've bought all kinds of important ephemera (if that's not a contradiction in terms?), mainly from the £ shop in Witney....table cloths, jugs, rubber gloves. And with Martyn's help we've worked out that the stall can run in two phases (breakfast & lunch), and that the morning session will appeal to market goers with the later session being more about inviting people, especially artists, to join us. The technicalities of heating soup all day on a stall outside are my biggest worry - especially after a huge box arrived from the government Food Safety quango, with a 6 point plan just to explain how to wash your hands. Apparently it involves lather? The responsibility is huge, but we're trying to cope with it. Have also picked up the gazebo from Allie today and we worked out how to design the stall, with our soup can logo on laminated sheets hanging from a washing line.
So next thing is to mail out to everyone and post the event on listings - I'm hoping lots of artists will come along to really make it an Artists Soup!

Thank you very much for all your work on this Janine and Michael. I am looking forward to setting up the gazebo at 8am on 1 November, popping on my 'pinny', and serving my special recipe pumpkin soup. All in the middle of the Famers Market. Its worth coming just to get a bite of an almond croissant from the bread stall. Thanks too to my friends Lyn and Helen who are coming to help.
