Title: Stafford(shire) show in June
Post by: plumseverywhere on May 16, 2010, 04:24:34 pm

Is anyone planning on going? my hubby works for NFU as a health and safety bod and has to go both days to ensure all is safe (and healthy?!)
never one to miss out on a free ride I was thinking of taking the children out of school for a day and going along (there's loads there for the kids and it IS educational, really!)
if anyone else is going it would be nice to say hello maybe?  I can't make the scotland meets as I'm in the sunny midlands so won't be planning anything too far from home now we have goats that need milking amonst all else - but having 'met' you all on here thought it would be a shame to miss a chance to say hello properly!

love to but not sure I'd get out of work on the basis its educational.
I did go to Gardeners world live... but they owed me more hours than they were prepared to pay for!!

Hi little blue section A is a type of welsh pony. You have section A , b , c and D they have different characteristics and also get bigger ie. B is bigger than a, c is bigger than b etc..

Aah, thanks Helen!
Would absolutely love a native pony, and a couple of donkeys... but unless we win the lottery and can buy a field.... !!

I'm a sucker for ponies but under instruction that I can't have more equines as I sometimes work away and hubby gets lumbered looking after my menagerie in the week.
