Cheshire Show

As it turned out, the Cheshire Show was a bit of a dog fest. The world and his wife seemed to own or have owned a Welsh terrier and we met a series of colourful characters ,( why do all dog breeders look as though they have been digging sewers?)

William was beautifully behaved (above) Meg less so, but they seemed to actually enjoy watching new things, which terriers seem to do with gusto.

We saw the pygmy goats which were lovely and I am determined to get a couple for the field, but was slightly disappointed that all the poultry had been judged yesterday, and all that was in the hen tent was guinea pigs!

As usual, the draught horses stole the show, and it was great to see some of the rarer breeds showing. (I thought it interesting that breeds such as the Suffolk punch, is rarer than the Siberian tiger!)

Big upset of the day: 5£ for a sausage sarni!!!
