As I was on my way to the ladies night at Weston school, I made an amazing discovery. Aston has a chip van. It comes to Yates Ave on a Friday night between 7.30 and 8.15. I had already eaten before I saw it so I didn't buy any, but I will be sure to let you know if they are any good when I do try some. That's definately a 'when' and not an 'if' as I will be trying them. Mmm chips.
The Ladies Night was a fundraising event for Weston school and it had lots of stalls selling cards, accessories, jewellery and some foody things. These was also a bar and various treatments on offer for a fiver such as hot stone massage, facials, nails and eyebrow shaping. I don't think there were quite as many people at the ladies night as in previous years, but there were just as many stalls. Lots of handmade stuff. There was a stall which did handmade jams, pickles and chocolate and they had loads out at the front to try. I think I must be that kind of stalls worst nightmare as I like to try all the samples but don't very often buy anything. The chocolate was really good, well most of it anyway. The rose and bergamot white chocolate was good as was the lemongrass flavour white chocolate, the caramel milk chocolate and the Christmas spice chocolate. The Christmas tree chocolate was not so good tasted as though it was made with real Christmas trees. I spent ages talking to the people on the herbalife stall. It must be hard to sell a weight loss product because it would be quite tactless to go up to someone and say "You look like you need to lose a bit of weight. Fancy trying our new weight loss product?". I think they get round this by dropping leaflets through doors and having stalls at events such as this one. There were a few things I could have bought but I settled on buying a nice handmade headband for my daughter. As at most events of this sort there was a raffle at the end. I didn't win though. Maybe next time eh.
