I have just seen Annabel Karmel AND Gill Rapley...

[MrsBadger]

... at the same event, here

they were speaking at opposite ends of the festival at the same time

I resisted the urge to assess and compare the demographic of each audience

(I did notice Gill's BLW tent was in the same line of booths as the NCT, the Baby Cafe and the hippycampfire-- Forest Schools stand, while AK was up there with the Waitrose- and Rangemaster-sponsored stalls...)

yeah, i was there too. But didn't see AK, was in the BLW talk. Thought it was interesting they were on at the same time though...

I was there too, they had both talks at the same time! Not really sensible I thought.

Sorry greensnail just realsied you said it first!

usedtobe thing.. i have a few girls clothes for you. started a couple of thraeads, but did not seem to catch you! not quite what you were looking for, but you ccan have them.. some trousers, shorts , dress..

Oh hi Lulumama sorry no I didn't see the threads. Thank you how kind! Shall I cat you?

please do ! i will list what i have , and you can tell me if you want it x

Thanks so much wll CAT you now x

Have CAT (ed?!) you! Just off out will be back on later though.

My DD is 3.2 and we did BLW - I was really impressed to see it on the programme. Nobody had heard of it then - do you think its all down to Aitch

I walked past the Annabel Carmel tent as she was telling the audience they have to get oily fish in their children's diet and her carrots and salmon recipe would convince even the fussiest of eaters. I felt like putting DD in front her to test out her theory

am impressed by how many MNers were there

actually I'm not, it was prime MN territory

Its a shame they were on at the same time - would have liked to see Annabel Karmel for a laugh to see what she was going on about. 6 month old DD could have sat up front eating her salmon fishcakes. She can't get enough of fish actually

you could hear her dulcet tones over most of the field tbh

Dh said 'She's the neurotic one, isn;t she? She sounds more uptight than your mother'

Did she have that freakish eighties big hair too?

nope, ponytail and immobile fringe, as far as I could see

i was hoping this would be about extreme cage fighting.

when I saw they were both on the bill teh thought did cross my mind

or at least a US-presidential-debate style showdown

karmel snarling in one corner with a hand held food processor adn rapley cool weilding a whole cucumber

Do you think they put them on at the same time to stop people from the wrong camp heckling? A debate would have been great - we should suggest it for next year
