I'll be wearing my TAS hoodie too but it might be covered up by my fleece, waterproofs, and any other extra layers I can find  :roflanim:

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Linda,
You obviously haven't hear the latest forecast. SNOW..... a couple of inches for the top of the Beacons.

Yep, I've only got the t-shirt too - but then again we've been so acclimatised to the cold in Scotland over the past few years we're finding it quite warm down here now, even the rain feels softer  :eyelashes:

The current BBC weather forecast says cloudy and about 11C. Not bad for this show!

We will be there all weekend (going over Friday afternoon).  You'll find us in the sheep hall with a motley bunch of Greyface Dartmoors (Marchgwyn).  Wish us luck, this is out first time so anything could happen.


Weather is not looking promising - wellies and waterproofs look like being the order of the day, but who know donw here in Wales - anything could happen - we could have snow (don't laugh!) or it could be really hot like last year (I wish!).

Good luck Steve  :fc:  easy to say, just try & relax & have fun  :excited:  I'm not very good at this myself, but remember the same animal can go under half a dozen judges & get 6 different placings - each to their own - beauty is in the eye of the beholder  :eyelashes:

Well ...
Don't know where everyone was this morning - only managed to chat briefly with Suzieq.
How did those showing their animls do today?  Lillian & Robert's Hampshire, Hazel, has qualified today for the supreme champ class tomorrow, so  :fc:  for them.
Anyone going tomorrow?  We'll be there from about 09.00 - we'll be by the  :pig:  most of the time, though out classes don't start until 13.00.
 
 :love: :pig: :love:

Beewyched, I came looking for you (suziequeue told me what you were wearing) but couldn't find you. Tried to find Liz too and she had gone missing each time I got to her pigs (perhaps she was trying to tell me something)
Anyway, weather was good and I enjoyed myself
