So useful! It’s good to have them all in one place; hot dog month sounds like a good one!
Thanks Caroline. I need to update it with a few more but it keeps me right
That’s interesting. If only someone would organize an event around the theme… that would be fun.
Jacqueline, I’ve been asked to do something for National Potato Day so thought I’d see if it was on your calendar – I believe it’s on 26 January 2013 and have just checked their website.
Thanks for letting me know Camilla – I’ve changed it now
