Annual Show

Another Annual Show over for the year, and Heather

and I made our mark. I managed to get 1st, 2nd

and 3rd placings, along with Heather being the overall

winner and scooping up the trophy, highest points

and 1st place in her entries. Well done Heather!

I had a great time with my knitting and Heather and I both

made socks.

My socks are the buttercup ones and Heather's are the darker

coloured socks. I thought it would be interesting to

share with you what our over sixties are up to as well.

Except for the picture frame in this photo, everything else

painted are old saws and blades. My neighbour put 2 saws together and made a

shark. There is some talent in this wonderful town of ours.

I have been a paying member of our local Agricultural Society for a few

years but this year jumped on board and joined in. What fun we had. The

crowd I have joined are a bunch of hard working farmers and farming families who love a

good time. It is incredible how much time they put into making sure

the show is a success.

It was incredible to find out that before they start work over show weekend,

they first get up at the crack of dawn to do many of their farming jobs and then

stay at the show all day right through until the wee hours of the morning.

And the other thing I realized they are a real laugh, teasing each other

in the nicest possible way of course!

It is a pleasure to have found them all.

Just before the show I did manage to make a funny little felt creature. I do

remember enjoying the stitching that went into him.

I found him in a magazine. Do you love the bright colours?

Now that I missed out on knitting and crafting this weekend, I am now

going to make the hottest cup of tea and knit!

Later on I will put the roast on......today Pixie went out to get a load of wood, so

it is only fitting to make him a splendid night time meal!....then back to the

knitting. Hope your weekend was fantastic like mine was, enjoy what

is left of it.

Kind regards, Anita.
