We couldn't celebrate #UKSausageWeek without celebrating our awesome homemade sausage rolls, filled with Anna's Happy Trotter's free range pork and wrapped in pastry. Delicious! https://t.co/cTC4XcYM0N pic.twitter.com/82F0whHfL0

A favourite tweet so far is from Historic Environment Scotland. Definitely a real thing..
So we had a look in the archives to see if we could find anything for #UKSausageWeek (definitely a real thing) and it turns out yes!
