selling his renowned Black Pudding. He enlisted the help of
his wife and daughter, to work with Shona his niece (Charlie Barley's daughter) and Donny Morrison who work in the business for the trip south.
At the QMS stand Jean Royan from Elgin stopped to admire young Gary's display. All those who promoted the independent craft butcher at this major event that was expected to attract 150,000 consumers should be applauded for their efforts. |
