Third time lucky….

No show since 2019 so all systems go this year.
Lots of changes too, a new Secretary after 44 years so the new person has a hard act to follow.
I imagine there there will be a different way of running things….change is good sometimes.
I think we will notice a massive difference from previous years as we are only about 200 metres round the corner.
Harry & I went a walk past tonight….lots of work going on & many tractors on the road.

Three good things:
1. A lot of weeding today…
2. A visit to a friend with a sick husband….she was ready for a good chat. She’s finding life hard at the moment.
3. The tractor balloon is still flying!

Going to the show will be an easy exercise this year. I hope it goes well with new reins. Your friend would have been pleased to chat and have you thoughtfully listen.

@beryl @dide @busylady This is the side entrance….there are signs up all around the area. This is a big two day show with over 40,000 people usually. There will be more photos to come over the weekend!

I always liked your show pictures, did you enter a photo competition there a few years back and win ?

[Allison Williams]

I hope it’s a great event and celebration.

[Taffy]

Looking forward to seeing some photos of the livestock being shown. An inviting entrance.

[GaryW]

Hope all goes well. I hope you have time for lots of photos!

I hope it won't be too crowded with so many people not wearing masks now. I have heard the latest omicron virus type will over power recent vaccinations and covid positive people having recovered. Cases going up and up here. On the bright side, you can always hop home if it does get crowded!

Will be so lovely to get back to the show and catch up with all the folk you usually only catch o ce a year..

[Issi Bannerman]

I hope it all goes well!

@maggiemae It will be crowded & very hot Maggie but we are outside & although covid cases rampant round here most people are quite relaxed about it. We have got immune to all the warnings I’m afraid as generally speaking it’s quite a mild thing now. We have heard the new variant can be more severe but until we see the proof I think most are carrying on with their lives. If worried stay at home I think the best advice.
You’re right about nipping back home though! 😀😀

@phil_howcroft I did Phil, quite a few times! Since I only use my iPhone these days I haven’t bothered! You have to get the photos printed off which means a trip to Asda etc I can’t be bothered these days although it was exciting seeing the results! I never even looked at the category this year, in fact I will have a look now…too late though!!
