My memories make me think of crowds everywhere I wanted to see most, (cake decoration, embroidery, smocking) lucky to get a glimpse of these, and trying to get the right showbags for the family, really a test of patience! Lots of dust about too, tired feet, what a relief to sit at last in the grandstand and watch the sheep dogs at work! I do not remember ever seeing the ducks, only "chooks". I was especially drawn to the agricultural pavilion where the produce was displayed beautifully. Lovely brown eggs, ham, vegetables of great quality, and bottled fruit perfectly arranged---and sheafs of wheat. Thanks for the memories your blog evoked, I am pleased you had such a good day,and invited us to read about it.

I went a few years ago and happened across the pigs water diving. What a laugh. The steam powered farm equipment in operation would have been interesting to see. What a nice post.
