The Melplash Show at The West Bay Showground, Bridport, Dorset is going ahead after all  (recent flooding put it in doubt).  Thursday 23rd August.  Good luck to a certain TASer who I hope will sweep the board in the sheep classes. (also posted in events)

Wonder who that might be 
I love Melplash (especially a it's my local show!) I don't think it will go all my way though! with Wensleydales, Cotswolds etc it's going to be a challenge for my scruffy GFDs to get amongst the rosettes - especially when they have been lying in the gateway on semi solid dung

And I thought it was just mine that look like scruffy mutts amongst the elite

Old Land Rover has just seriously failed the MOT  so no transport for my sheep (well, that's my excuse).  I'll be the one in the horticultural tent tomorrow night balancing plants/eggs/jam  .  Where is OH when you need him?

[Bramblecot]

  Brilliant day, the sun shone  and there was a cool breeze off the sea. 
A certain TASer was in the grand parade with her Champion Ram (well done Gungadin) , and won first prize with a ewe too.  And another was quietly chuffed to bits winning first prize with a Shetland (ish) fleece from an unregistered store lamb that was reprieved.
There was a good turn-out of sheep - lots of down breeds and primitives.  Some folk travel a long way so it is well supported.  Anyone interested for next year, give me a call for info.

O.k, so my scruffy mob did rather better than I was expecting! Well done with the fleece Bramblecot, it was certainly a good show for us local yokels

Aww stop it! you're making me (and the sheep) blush! Seriously though, these shows are a lot of hard work 

[CaroleBulmer]

   a seriously good day and it didnt rain!! what more can anyone want - the primatives showed the commercials the way home in the group of three!!

[Mallows Flock]

Yay - how did you do Carole? Was more champers in order? That totally rounded off the day for the Midsomerset Show 

[Hazelwood Flock]

Yes, well done Carole    those commercials were well wooped    your Heb boys are so handsome 

[CaroleBulmer]

they were looking good, for once, and yes Lisa champers was in order - lets hope we all have fun at the Dorset County Show on Saturday see you there Sadie!!

[Mallows Flock]

I won't be at the Dorset County cos I got into this showing malarky far too late, but you might see Lesley there. I will see you at the Frome show tho'. Yay!
