It is a smashing day here aswell but we went out for dinner and I had to spend a few hours organising for work tomorrow so I didnt bother . Maybe next time though

Turned out a great day for it as it didnt look at all promising in the morning.

I was explaining to the missus how I met up with the two boys...oh she goes, a bit like a blind date then!!!!!!. I wish!
The two boys were not what I was expecting. Con for example was articulate, well dressed etc etc, the complete opposite to what I thought he would be!!!!!! (the phone will not let me add a smiley face!)

Eire, I was in a rush when I met you, but had seen all the sheep earlier, what were you showing and how did you get on?

Well done. Good day out then. Does that qualify you for any other shows?

Its as close to one that you'll get around here!!

Was disappointed with the show itself, I was there two years ago and there was alot more cattle at it so was expecting the same again.
Though was surprised that there were teams from South Africa and the Falklands in the sheep shearing competition which was entertaining.

Cheers mac, no all the shows are independant of each other.

Its a great site for the show and ya would think if they had cattle at it they could draw an even bigger crowd.
