Last week we went with Ben, Claire, Thomas and Sophie to the Royal Bath and West Show, probably the biggest agricultural show in England. Hundreds of farmers, animal owners, cheese makers and florists had entered their cows, bulls, sheep, pigs, poultry, rabbits, goats, floral displays, cheeses and much more in the hope of winning the show medals. In addition there was a show jumping competition, military band displays, a parade of old vehicles and thousands of side stalls. We had a ride on the miniature railway (that's us behind the boy in the black top hat), watched the sheep judging, savoured the aroma of the cheese hall, watched the old tractor display and much more. After a long day we drove to the nearby Somerset town of Shepton Mallet for a fish and chip supper, then home to bed. What a lovely day.
