    If anyone is in the innovation marquee stop into Flash Records.
    There's the smartest young lad there I've ever encountered.
    It's an app for your phone where you take a picture of your paperwork for the accountant and your employees.
    But janey he looked about 12 going on 36.

    In the same tent Woodco have a biomass burner that produces heat, electricity and biochar.
    There's also a stand there called ProbioCarbon selling biochar infused with bacteria for horticulture in the same tent.

    I'll have to go back another day to see it all . Nice place to size up Christmas presents for yourself!!

    Today's purchases were two pairs of diabetic socks for my father and a pair of socks that don't need washing for six months for myself from Kiwi Country Clothing.

    You'd be running the risk of a soft brexit.

    What will you do with the socks after six months, shoot them?

    I don’t get what the second pic is meant to be, other than people walking out of a house?

    6 months is only a guide , I'd say they will do the year not a bother if no one notices

    Left home at 7.50 and I was walking in the gate at 10.40, had the tea and all by then. Not going to bother going a second day. Mainly interested in dairy equipment. Priced a few bale trailers aswell. I was home fairly quick aswell.

    We were there today and will look in for a few hours tomorrow too. It was a glorious day and very enjoyable all round, the crowds seemed bigger than ever. We had no trouble with traffic thankfully and got parked very close to the entrance. I'm looking forward to a second visit tomorrow and taking a better look at a few things that interested me today.

    Since catering facilities are limited in the accommodation we went into the marble city for dinner. We decided on a place called Matt the Miller's and it was very nice, top class grub and some good live music. I've never been in Kilkenny before but we'd definitely consider coming back for a few days at some point in the future.


    I'll second matt the millars for grub anyway

    Kilkenny is a nice city for people young or old. That's where I usually go with friends as its just in the road for us

    Is Kilkenny far from the Ploughing? Heading from Dublin & want to stop off somewhere nice for food on the way home.

    This is my recommendation . Off the beaten track so you do not get those sort of people but close enough to the beaten track for sophisticated people of a discerning nature .

    Kilkenny is out of your way,its south of the site
    You need somewhere en route back to Dublin
    Loads of options but head off the motorway

    Thank you guys. We will get lunch there but would love to get something decent on the way home. ( not too often I get to escape from the kids) off the beaten track on the way back home sounds good.

    The Good:
    Getting out was quick and easy.
    A lot less crap stands, like fairyhouse market tat where they are selling gone off sweets and novelty toys.
    Huge place and a well laid out main road with numbers.
    Every Ag stand you could imagine
    Plenty of food stalls with reasonably quick queues
    Lots of portiloos
    No need for boots or work shoes, ground was dry and metal boards were ideal for the amount of foot traffic.

    The Bad:
    Took an hour longer to get there than planned.
    No discounts for OAPs
    Very small livestock area. It's nearly become a full business show now.
    Hard to find water, could really do with a water tent, especially in that heat.

    The Ugly:
    Every single youngster bought one of the driving sticks. I could only find 3 by 16:00. They were completely gone and I got approached a few times by other farmers asking could they buy mine. Kind of annoying since they great for herding and you don't lose them so easy.

    I could complain about how there were way to many people and stands but its good to see such a turnout for a country show. I'll prob give it a miss next year and stick to Tullamore.

    This years site location was leaked earlier than the NPA wanted.

    It'll be there for 3 years, I suppose, as it takes so long to put the pipes and electricity cables down.
