Day Out: Surrey County Show

What a lovely Bank Holiday. Just the time to be busy down the plot... or not.

Today we went out to the Surrey County Show down in Guildford. Just a short trip straight down the A3 from us. It is a one-day event which covers a lot of Agricultural activities. Far too much for me to cover here, but here are a few of the images I took.

The Sheep Show. An interesting talk all about sheep with a shearing demonstration.

The Judging of the Dairy Cows...

And the Bulls...

The Food Hall was absolutely packed...

But here's an unexpected twist. In the Honey tent, we bumped into Alison from the Allotments. You may remember that she keeps bees and is a member of the Wimbledon Bee Keepers Association. Well she won Second Prize in the Frame of Honey category.

It was an extremely exhausting day. I didn't really take many photos, because it was just too damn interesting. I just got carried away with the whole experience. We were there from 10am through until 5pm, so it was a full day. We got home at about 7pm after a quick trip to the plot to water the greenhouse and then collapse in bed for a "couple of hours". So here I am writing this up after waking at 1am. Yeah, exhausting.
