A day out yesterday at the Westmoreland show near Kendal in Cumbria.
The weather was not at it's best & we all got pretty soaked but they are made of hardy stock in Cumbria & it didn't deter the crowds from pouring into the showground.
This is taken on a hill over looking the main showground & is were all the vintage tractors are.
We had a very enjoyable day seeing lots of people we knew & we didn't get stuck in the mud on the way out of the car park!! Was hoping to meet up briefly with @ellida but he hasn't been posting lately so perhaps he is on his travels.
Can the sharp eyed of you spot Harry? Might be better looking large!
In the bar?!!! People are wonderful at turning out in all weathers, what a shame reminds me of many a soggy point to point with the poor farmer pulling the cars out of the car park!! Obviously a very social event for you two!
Glorious setting. They wouldn't do anything in Cumbria if they were bothered about rain. Do they do fell-running here or is that just Grasmere? Monty and I went to the Fenland show and left just as rain of apocalyptic proportions started to fall - it flooded the shops in town and brought down half of the library roof. I did feel sorry for everybody but I was glad to have got safely off the field!
@judithg No the fell running is in Grasmere Judith. That sounds a very drastic calamity to hit the library Judith, what will people do with no books to read ? There were hundreds of dogs at the show of all shapes & sizes all looking rather bedraggled.
@happypat People were rescuing the books as they were evacuated! I think it may have been the ceiling tiles that came down (water getting through the roof?). It's a new library that cost a fortune and over-ran by forever in the build. The flashy new shopping centre apparently had torrents of water running down John Lewis's walls - it rained VERY hard but questions are being asked.
My new Son-in-law, comes from a farming family and he adores tractors. A wonderful rural scene Pat, and there's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing :))
My gosh, tractors as far as the eye can see! That's a huge show!! I had Harry pegged as one of the two gents in blue...was he carrying all of your purchases in the Union Jack bag. Pat? :)
We are still in need of rain and you all keep talking about all you get......
