Hello Sharon It reads wonderful and I clicked diary on the l/h side there is some grand forthcoming attractions but its a long way from Grimsby Today's doo reads some what like Brockelsby or Reevesby Country Fairs a little later on in the year Brockelsby is usually the last Sunday in June we usually go but I was so poor last year I missed it.Very disappointed I was.Have a good day its nice and sunny here on the east coast

Just got back - had a wonderful time! Met Gus Dermody and Adam from Countryfile (his farm's not too far from here). Kids enjoyed the terrier racing and sheep dog display. Most exciting thing for the kids though were the hay bales and wood shaving pit! Thought it could have been much bigger - no trade stands selling any wares really - could have made a killing there!

Sounds good Sharon The local Country Fairs are cluttered with trade stands though, but its a good day out really and one is not forced to go round them

We've just got the show diary in the Smallholder magazine - first one next week - Monmouth!

Sharondp, were you the lady from Ross-on-Wye who spoke to my dad and brother about shearing?

We were the "Murmuring Wheel Spinning Display" Phil, my brother is SingingShearer on here.

We had a really good day, if rather tiring! We had Adam Henson and his daughter on our wheels, got to say though that the daughter was better at it than Adam!

If this is going to be an annual event will definately go next year
