the wonders of village shows



when you have a house full of visitors, some who get up very early
"Auntie Tess is it MORNING YET?"
then you have plenty of time to do baking before breakfast.
and if you need a healthy snack later, the cool green smoothie machine comes to the rescue.



when you need to entertain your visitors then what better than dogs chasing a tea towel?



in the exhibit tent there's a prize for Mr Driftwood and his photos,



and for some stripes!


and prizes for Miss K


but tears for E, not because he didn't win (in fact he did win with his biscuit) but because I didn't tell him there was a lego modelling competiton..........
"and all the entries are just from kits mummy, and I would have built a proper model, and I've never ever seen a lego competition before...... sob sob"
bad mummy of the year prize goes to me then.......................



he had to eat all the rockbuns,



and some bright blue biscuits before he felt better, and forgave me...........

  1. That is so sweet: "I would have built a proper model."

  3. I'm still giggling at the dog chasing a tea towel! Pip goes mad for a towel for some strange reason...

    Well done on such a prolific amount of prizes!

    Poor E - however I think bribing with biscuits was probably a good mood!
