The stick judge by happypat

The stick judge

I meant to go back to the walking stick entries after the judging. He had only just started so I missed getting the sticks with their colourful rosettes on them.

Had a great night last night watching Jody Prenger in Shirley Valentine. I struggled a little with the 'scouse' accent at times but Jody was amazing in this one person play. How she learnt all those lines I have no idea! I would perhaps liked a couple of other actors in the show but really it wasn't necessary.

Three good things:
1. I had my flu jab this morning.
2. No queue, straight in!
3. Autumn colours just starting.
what a fascinating photo. All that beautiful woodwork.

So interesting ... I had no idea that walking sticks were so competitive.

Such a lovely sight which brings back happy memories of my Dad making walking stick amongst other wood crafts after his retirement -- I still have some of his sticks ..and small pieces of furniture !

@beryl How lovely Beryl, it's lovely when our loved ones actually make something like this with their own fair hands, makes them so special!

@sailingmusic yes all hand made, the ones further along are more ornate even. Must show you another photo of them one day.

Shows how the walking stick is much needed. So many men will not be seen with a walking stick - or women! A work of art deserves judging!

What a great display of craftsmanship.

And tricky to judge too.

I can't believe this. Not just a walking stick competition at the show but sections as well. Amazing.
