country show

Some scenes from our weekend at a nearby country show. It's nice to know some things stay the same over the years. This little show attracts around 2000 patrons and it's always a fabulous picnic occassion for us each year. Stella dog won four blue ribbons waggiest tail, hungriest dog, longest legs and most unusual coloured pet- funny catregories that we love for the quirkiness.Her ribbon total at 14 over her 4 1/2 years.

Colourful and sunny best describes our past four years visiting the show.

 Our picnic was a combined effort- I made  small egg and bacon pies with orange pound cake and as a belated nod to world nutella day earlier in the week some choc cupcakes with nutella butter cream for sweeties. Rowena made freekah salad and amber flavoured roast free range chicken (happy chicken) served warm in great tiffin like carriers obtained in Bahrain, and fiona added crusty baguettes and couscous with roasted veg and  haloumi.

All utterly delightful eaten with friends in the sunshine on the green green grass just the way we like it veryjoe.
