Really looking forward to my day out tomorrow. Have to get up at 5.00am though to get all the animals fed, walked etc as we are getting picked up at 7.00 am, great fun eh? Looking forward to getting to spend time in the sunshine and to see the ducks and goats.

I'm going on Friday and Saturday, my labrador is due her puppies on Wednesday so I'm leaving her in the capable hands of my 16 year old with a list of important numbers tattoo'd on his arm incase of any emergency!!

I'm looking forward to eating, drinking and spending loads of money on needless stuff.

I love it!!

Went to the show and had a brilliant day, wore my badge but did not see any others. I did see Beth and Alex at the goat tent which was good. Had far too much to drink and eat but no sore head this morning. I was very disappointed with the Poultry tent - there were about 6 ducks and 20 hens/cockerels. Alex informed me that most of the poultry doesn't arrive till today as this is when their competitions start. My forehead is suffering from wind burn as it was very windy, when the sun was out it was hot but mostly windy and cold, but dry at least.

For people that complain about the cost of the tickets my friend we went with (the GP on duty yesterday) says the cost for the medical team is £70000 - unbelievable eh? Apparently this is  the same cost for the likes of RAF Leuchars Airshow.

I'll still be in France - what's the next one after that?
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age
