Today I went to the Axminster Guildhall to donate blood (my 17th - blimey!)
Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall - of River Cottage fame - was giving his portion of celebrity blood as I arrived and it was funny watching people at the session covertly eyeing him up and deciding whether to pretend they knew him or not.
My chum Paula actually got to occupy his couch after he had finished - after a hygienic wipe down of course ( the couch, not Paula). Round here, that is probably a tale to dine out on for several weeks.
I wonder who the lucky recipient of that free range organic blood will be?
Good on yer Hugh, anyway.
