Cheese!

Well, the Frome Cheese Show was fab. I took pictures. In fact, I took so many pictures that I am going to do a seperate link to them. But for now, a few highlights:

There were many, many cheeses:

Hands up anyone who wants to imagine how that tent smelt by about 3pm on a hot, hot day?

Mmmm. Cheesy.

There were some fantastic, prizewinning cheeses:

Was a bit like a dairy version of Crufts, I imagine, but without the agility. Mind you, it was warm enough in there to make a few of the cheeses rather lively.

There were tractors:

This one with the windmill on it wins my "Things I don't EVER want to get stuck behind" award:

There was a hay and silage tent, which was full of very old men sniffing the sacks and looking critical. Here is a prize-winning sack:

Clearly a winner, I think you'll agree.

One of my favourite things was the pack of beagles. Aaaah. Beagles:

But the best tent of all (hence the many, many photos) was the Produce Tent. Hurrah.
There was jam:

(How did the sheep only get fifth? He was robbed!)

Oh, so much stuff. We had a grand day.

What a picture to finish on! The sheep is magnificent.

I am very, very proud of the fact that I made a whole gaggle of elderly people get out of my way while I spent ages taking the perfect shot of the sheep.

It was great.

If you've never been to a Country Show, get there immediately.

All of you, even the Americans.
