Phil prefers to work alone, (mainly because he is a miserable sod as you can see from his picture, like most photographers he does not like his photo taken.)
But one thing he is brilliant at is taking wild life photographs check out his web site you will have to look hard to find a better photographer, which is why at his craft stall there are always eager buyers browsing his photographs.

Jill
Bramble Cottage
Jill a wonderful lady who sells home made Jams, Chutney and Apple Juice.
A great selection with tastes for everybody. Jill has the most repeat customers at this craft fair, and is normaly sold out well before the end of the fair.
Could be the excellent home made produce she sells, but my opinion is she is the first one seen
with her stall next to the door and grabs every one before they get round the rest of us.
Guaranteed you buy a jar of Jill's jam, you will be back for more.
Contact Jill at email: birkettjillian@gmail.com
or better still call round at Paxton and get a jar of jam.
