K and I went to the beautiful viallge of Benington today for the Benington Lordship Chilli Festival. The Lordship is a fantastic old manor house with sprawling grounds and part of the building consisting of some ruined battlements. The festival hosted 10 or so stalls selling eveything chilli related - spices, sauces, clothing - everything! We hung around for an hour or so soaking up the atmosphere and wondering why we had not found this picturesque village yet! We left with a Thai Dragon Chilli plant which should produce 200+ chillis every year. They are small and evil looking and are VERY hot - should come in handy for fajitas tonight :)
