Saturday morning and I’m approaching the end of my second night shift.
It’s been a busy enough night for the thirty something support worker to be tired.
I look like a slapped arse
No sleep for me until late morning as I’m helping out Debbie ( my flower show judge) to mark the “apple” classes (?)
There is a cold nip in the air and the skies all week, have featured that weak watery blue of winter.
Horsewomen walking down Trelawnyd high street this week
An Apple press that could be used by visitors
Affable despot jason , Gill from choir, Animal helper Pat, velvet voiced Linda, Village leaders Ian and Helen, Boffin Cameron , Glam Malinka Levey, , everyone seemed to be there sipping gin and or cider or helping and talking. I sat with Roger at a table and ate my lunch/ breakfast, he was beautifully behaved and so I bought him and Mary a dog bandana each
How do you judge an apple? Do you get to taste them, or is it just size/appearance? Anyway, I hope your judging is over quickly and you can get into a nice warm bed and sleep. xx
ReplyDeleteJust seen the added photos, and now I NEED apple pie! xx
DeleteWe had an American lady who entered the apple pie class who watched us closely during judging , I was a wreck lol
DeleteThere are some words in the ad about the apple festival that I will have to google, but the idea is as wonderful as all the other celebrations you all invent for yourselves in this wonderful little place where you live.
ReplyDeleteI love the way kelda described Trelawnyd in her videos
DeleteYour village keeps their traditions alive, my Somerset village has lost so many of their shows. It's always down to the same few people doing so much of the work.
ReplyDeleteHave you got red handprints on your face you naughty boy?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed helping the judge , great fun x
DeleteThe photo and the view!
ReplyDeleteLike your view, we forget it here and take it for granted
DeleteIts almost 5 in the morning here and I have been awake all night with bladder problem again. I like your term slapped arse, that is how I feel and look. Going to go back to bed and try again. Gigi
ReplyDeleteBeen there , had the pain and the spasms , poor you xx
DeleteThat is a great photo of the horsewomen. So bucolic.
ReplyDeleteA reminder that we are a rural village
DeleteA community with a heart.
ReplyDeleteI thought that when I Sid hello to the same hanky faces today x
DeleteYou'll be ready to collapse into bed when the moment arrives!
ReplyDeleteI feel rough and am off to bed shortly
DeleteI hope it goes well....it's a beautiful day for it! I had thought of popping over, but am full of cold....maybe next year! x
ReplyDeletePlease come to the flower show too
DeleteI'd like to do that. x
DeleteApple pie judge = tough job but someone has to do it...... Perhaps you had a.big coffee to help clear the palate between pies?
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Ceci
The hall looks lovely. I can't imagine judging those apple pies will be too much of a hardship. They look delicious. X
ReplyDeleteOh I bet there will be a queue to judge those pies, they look delicious. I hope it's a successful day. xx
ReplyDeleteI love the horsewomen photo , you live in heaven. Makes me want to come visit or maybe even move. Along with the apple festivities. I love a cool fall sunny day.
ReplyDeleteAnother one for the books. You just have a way of writing that brings people in, puts you in the place and makes you want more. :)
Hope the festival has gotten a good turnout. It would be difficult to judge as all those apple treats look yummy!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, those beautiful horses, and the pies, oh, the pies. Hope the judging was easy and quick so you could go to bed to sleep off the two night shifts and return to the land of the living feeling great.
ReplyDeleteToday may be the right day for apple hand pies here!
Hugs!
Apple pie judge? It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it:)
ReplyDeleteApple pie taster! Sounds like a delicious job.
ReplyDeleteApple pie judge...a lovely job!!
ReplyDeleteTo be fair the entries were all bloody lovely
DeleteLovely photos. It looks like a good show.
ReplyDeleteIt’s growing, it’s only the show’s second incarnation
DeleteHope you had a wonderful time judging apples & apple pies today, and are now tucked-up at home with the Bun, Weaver, Mary, and Roger. Rest well tonight, John dear.
ReplyDeleteI sleep heavily after nights VERY heavily
DeleteI came here to say the exact same thing as GZ. Apple pie judge? You are truly blessed! Where do I sign up for that???
