"Carry on Baking"

Hello folks,

We want to start by saying that we are so sorry that the blog has been rather neglected of late!  We have been very busy bees setting up and running our new market stall, 'Carry on Baking' in Horsham Carfax on a Saturday.

If you've been to see us......THANK YOU!

What do you think of our Market Banner?  We love it, thanks so much to Jill Spratt (@jillspratt) who found us on Facebook and designed it for us!

Our first Market day was the 27th October and there was a Halloween theme!  We are really enjoying the market experience,  we even got right in the swing of it with some 'market banter shouting' at the end of this Saturday...."come and grab a last minute tasty bargain!" etc...

We have been overwhelmed by how many lovely people have come to see us, and buy some of our goodies (some people even want photos, which is lovely)!  We have been very lucky with out local press too, who have sent lots of people our way!

Below is a link to a little vid of us on our first week!!!
