We were at the House of Lords this week for the finals of the 'Rural Oscars', the annual Countryside Alliance celebration of rural enterprise. Growing Well had won the North West prize and was up against the best of rural enterprise from around Britain. Four of us were able to go down for the event which was held at Parliament on a terrace overlooking the Thames and the London Eye.
It was enormously exciting to realise that we'd won the award, which was handed to us by Defra Minister Richard Benyon. The award really recognises the hard work of everyone who has been involved with Growing Well over the last seven years. Well done to all of us!
