I'm back, and have more pics than I expected! This is just a selection, I took absolutely loads.

We (that's myself and my friend Victoria) had a fantastic time and it was really great to be able to shop and watch the displays together. Yep, it did rain a lot, although Tuesday was fairly pleasant, and Wednesday began miserably but cheered up in the afternoon. The mud was pretty bad though, I wore my riding boots every day instead of my sandals (as planned), and on the journey there, we had to take a detour as thew road was under 5 feet of floodwater! Needless to say, the wellington boot business was the most profitable at the show this year.

Onto the pics!



Starting with the livestock, here is a bunch of adorable little piglets. Victoria and I did learn a few Welsh words and phrases, one of which was 'moch', meaning pig.



This guy was gorgeous, we wanted to take him home. Sheep No. 5303 is a breed called a Hampshire Down, and he was so friendly that we went to see him nearly every day.



A lovely family of Highland Cattle, who won best of breed.



This was the grand parade of cattle, the bull and cow at the front were the overall champions (and believe me, that bull was a gigantic creature!)



Angora goats being judged



Small animals next, and here's a guinea pig in the cavy show.



A beautiful white angora rabbit in the rabbit show - bet he takes some grooming!

MANY more to come...
