I took a well earned day off work to go to the annual Bakewell Show today.
Unfortunately it tipped it down most of the morning, so it wasn't such a pleasant a day out as it normally is. Still, I enjoyed it all the same.
I managed to watch the whippets being shown, despite the fact there wasn't enough room to swing a cat in the tent. :unsure: Couldn't help noticing a role reversal in that that last year's steward was this year's judge and last year's judge was this year's steward.
Here's a piccie of the winners of the open class. The winner also won best of breed.
Here's some piccies of a very whippet like breed :wub: ...they had the fortune of better weather and shown in the rings outside...
..and another....
..and here are some of the goodies I bought home. Must be the most expensive way of buying Bakewell pudding.....and it looks like it's salami in my sarnies for the next month or so. I also fell for the car polish sales patter......just hope the OH falls for it t :- " o. And of course I couldn't come home without visiting the horticultural tent. What a fab day. :teehee:
