« on: October 02, 2012, 08:59:40 am »
For those of you who didn't make it, and those of you who did and want to see if you got on the telly, don't miss Landward this Friday at 7pm, on BBC 2 Scotland:

If you're not in Scotland it'll be available on the iPlayer too. :)

Thanks Dan - I'll be watching.   I felt like Cinderella who couldn't go to the ball on Sunday  :(

Next year Juliet, we'll send a carriage for you.  :)

It was lovely to meet Gordon, hope he had a good day and enjoyed his judging duties.

Aw thanks Dan.  It's only a hop and skip from ours to Lanark though so I could go home for a snooze halfway through  ;D
 
Gordon enjoyed it very much - he spent most of the time chatting with the Wool Board man, but met so many people he knew and didn't have time to get around everything there was to see.
 
We are really looking forward to next year  :excited: .  Hopefully then I can help with the spinning demo which sounds as if it was extremely popular.
 
Oh one thing - Gordon said he would have liked to see your cattle in the 'Best Horns' class  ;)

Which paper is this?  I can probably get it in Longtown...

Sorry Sally, it's the Dundee Courier & Advertiser, so I don't think you'll be able to get it. They do have a website, but when I checked earlier today, the pictures weren't on the website yet. When/ if they appear I'll post them.
