So we are off to the County Show tomorrow (think happy weather thoughts!).
Sean is working in the Eco Village and I am a regular punter. Last year I went and had a great time, there were beautiful handcrafts and producers. This is one of the things I am going to find hard – not being able to support local business.
However, traditional members of the farming community have been complaining that the show is just for shopping now, and has forgot its agricultural roots. Well, being able to buy nothing, this is what I will be enjoying – the show as a show, not an outside shopping mall.
There is much excitement however, as Wye Community Farm has two cows which are being shown in the Young Farmers livestock area by Sian. Kalamar the cow is a member of the Wye Community Farm’s herd of British White cattle. The photo shows Kalamar setting off to the show this morning.
