County Show

So school was shut for teacher change over day, mine go into their new years and classes Monday. So we went to our local County Show. It was a cold and drizzly day but could have been worse. We saw all the animals, cows, sheep, chickens, horses and dogs. Saw Titan the robot. Went on the big carrousel, my 10yr old andmy brave 3 yr old went up the climbing wall! 10 yr old son drove a real car around a track with an instructor, he was well chuffed.
I had a lot of dog envy, there were so many people with their dogs and all so well behaved, wish we could have taken Alfie but he would have freaked.

ooo did someone say chickens    

 Thought you might like them Steve! I took some pics to show my Dad, will put some up in a while. No breed manes for a lot of them though.

Sounds like a good day

Sounds like a good day, shame you couldn't have taken Alfie along with you but we wouldn't be able to take Rocky to anything like that either (you are not alone)

Thanks Kathy. Its such a shame he misses out on some great days out. Bumped into several friends and their dogs which was great, but Alfie had to stay home, with my sister going in to let him out and play ball with him. Not the same.

They all look like very healthy birds

Sounds like such a fun day!

Yes all the animals were cleaned and buffed to within an inch lol but yes they all looked healthy. I didn't take any pics of the sheep but they were so fluffed up and groomed, the cows were highly shiny. Some of the sheep and goats has cotton coats on so they didn't get dirty before their time in front of the judges

It was thanks Lisa. All the better that the other schools were open as usual so not flooded with them!   

Lovely Sue yes shame about Alfie perhaps in time hun xx

  i'm going to have few gold/ginger one and a fww silver line ones

Sorry I don't know Steve. I like the last one, think its a Silky, which my Dad had at one time.

Sounds like a wonderful day I couldn't take Bug to anything like that either.. Dogs, people and livestock?! Lol! I'm sure he fulfils your life in many other ways

Sounds like a really fab day sue! Glad you enjoyed it and who knows in time maybe Alfie would be able to go xx

What a great day you all had by the sounds of it. Even better that all the other schools were open too, so much nicer when you can wander around with just your own.

I thought chicken came in bags from the supermarket   

County shows are great fun but tiring, they have some great thing from cattle judging to home made cider men climbing poles kids horse rides, I have not been to our local one since I stoped competing but a great day out x

Would be great for him to relaxed and friendly enough for him to enjoy the local beach/prom with us to be honest Hayley.
