That Big Wheel is an impressive structure.
I just wonder how long it takes to assemble and dismantle at each new site. The transportation of it must be a formidable task as well.

I'm guessing the blue ram's cheese was something less marvellous...

Apparently that happens in Boston too.

I have very little interest going anywhere that has lines like that.
An airport is the only place I can think of that I'm willing to stand in a line like that. |

The queues do move quickly, because the stalls are well staffed. Plenty of people bring picnics or decide to eat earlier/ later if they want hot food.
It's the queues for the Ladies toilets which I find eye-popping. You have to plan well in advance! I just wonder what people DO in there?! I mean I know what they're supposed to be doing, but I've timed them (I am that puzzled) and they're taking four minutes sometimes. I'm in and out in under 30 seconds. The stalls (cubicles) do not have mirrors or sinks; those are in the main area. So no-one is doing make-up or OCD multiple handwashing. Maybe their knickers are really tight or something... Anyway - woodies! Arrrrgh... Grrrrrrr... A reminder of home The skinniest horse I saw that day

Mare and foal, to complete the set
Who is Billy? Why does he have a bus that makes potatoes? I didn't go in, but it's all terribly Yorkshire.

Heading down to another part of the Show.
Passed a few beer tents, and people picnicing at tables or on the grass, enjoying the weather. The Birds of Prey Show was on at this time on one of the grounds, but I've seen it twice now at Otley Show, and there was such a crowd there. So I kept on going, to see things I haven't seen before. Countryside Alliance tent. No thank you, I don't want to join. Foxhounds, I believe. These are used for coursing, although these days they have to be muzzled. For a group that swore the Government would break the rural economy completely if they banned hunting with dogs, they Alliance seemed to have a nice tent and all be quite well-heeled. Florid faced gents in tweed with pints of bitter and ladies in hats with glasses of Pimms...

Lots of shops.
The man at this stall was so determined I try some of his fudge I thought he was going to chase me through the marquee! He just kept coming up with new flavours to try and tempt me. After saying No Thanks about four times I told him I was diabetic Every shade of hair catered for! My ape is better quality though. I adored these photo frames. I couldn't justify buying one, as it wouldn't fit the style of decor here (early-crack-house) or in fact that of anyone who wouldn't have a fit if I spent that amount of money. So I just enjoyed them where they were, which in hindsight was plenty good enough. Urgh. No.

Oddly, the stall with the hideous clown had some really nice things.
I loved the bowls and mugs. Bright primary colours, cats and patterns. And something clean to eat and drink from. Oops, that may have been my initial attraction. So I didn't buy, because they'd probably just get dirty if I used them and didn't wash up. So weird how that only started happening when I loved alone... Exciting wall of keyrings/ bag charms. I loved. But I already have a new lanyard to try and stop me locking myself out AGAIN. He is cute though. Baa baa bride sheep. Although both look like girls, so it's an ovine lesbian marriage (once you let the gays marry, it's a slippery slope!)

Cows.
It was a hot day, and at this point the initial judging had already been done, so they were mostly just having a kip. Parade of the champions. It's easy to forget just how big they are sometimes. There was an exciting bit where an Aberdeen Angus decided it was a leader, not a follower, and made a break for it, nearly knocking over part of a showjumping fence. But I was quite a way away, and so I had the camera on zoom. I was laughing too much at the Benny Hill style chase scene, not one photo is usable...
