Oakham baptist church volunteers worked very hard throughout the day providing free refreshments

and the most delicious home made cakes.

No one from Rutland Air Ambulance wanted to be photographed

they must all be friends of Cllr John Nowell.

It reminded me why. I wonder who put those illegal posters up around

the ward at the the last election attacking me? the cable gun staples used

were the same used to display the Air Ambulance Posters

alongside. The volunteers told me they a involved in

local politics. right!

Acholi Bead Crafts, Uganda, Rutland Day, Rutland Water, Photographed

this lady was selling rubbish, well not really just some lovely things made from recycled rubbish.

Made by Alcholi woman in Unganda Africa.

These woman were forced to leave their homes in Northern Uganda due to atrocities committed

against them in a 20 year long war.

The woman are mainly single mothers, many HIV-positive.

Most of them work crushing stones in a quarry,

earning barely enough to feed and clothe their families.

leaving nothing for school fees,

One alternative to this dangerous work is to make and

sell these beads.

To buy beads contact acholibeadcraft@yahoo.co.uk

Rutland Day

Rutland Food Festival; a celebration of all the wonderful food and drink on offer in and around Rutland. From small family run farm shops to traditional bakeries and award winning butchers, there is something for all tastes in England’s smallest county. Come and sample thirst quenching ciders and beers, nibble on pork pies and cheeses and savour organic freshly cooked sausages and Dexter old spot burgers.
Rutland Day is on the same site as the Food Festival, and is a great day for everyone of all ages to enjoy. As well as a great line-up of live music on stage, there’s plenty of entertainment for children and a range of stalls for adults to browse around - making it a fantastic family day out in Rutland for all the family.

What a day we had at the Rutland Food Festival 2011 - the sun shone (and the wind blew!) but the atmosphere was red-hot with families enjoying the live music and local food. The delicious smells were drawing people from miles around to taste the delights of the county.
Our top local chefs were entertaining the crowds with their excellent cookery demonstrations; you can view some of the inspiring recipies below;
View Olive Branch chef, Richard McGloughlin's recipe for Rabbit Pithier here.
