Formal and famous opening of newby to my patch!

Part of the new and impressive branch

Bob Chapman, Clarissa Dickens Wright and Ilene Chapman

Clarissa Dickens Wright, author and food god!

Well I'm a keen supporter of all things local and have for 15yrs now loved my local Butchers in Baldock called Chapmans.  So for a considerably long time now they've been setting up a new larger more impressive premises in the high street and I was there amongst hundreds of other people for the official opening of the new site.  Clarissa Dickens Wright was the famous person come to take part.  Bizarrely I was the only person that came forward with one of her books asking her to sign it for me.  I thought more would've been on the case but hey, at least I didnt have to queue for such a pleasure.  hurrah. ;-)
