Still trying to get to grips with the "real world" after spending three days in the asshole end of nowhere!
Seriously! Saturday I was taken to the county agricultural show. As we arrived the tannoy was shouting "For those of you who want to see the floating lady... you just missed her." Although the speaker did go on to tell us how impressive she had been! A real live lady floating in mid air!
But luckily we had arrived in time for the parade of tractors, which was, as the name suggests, farmers driving their favourite old tractors round the parade ring.
Also got to see them display their best livestock (sheep, cows, and horses). So I can honestly say that I have seen, with my own eyes, mark you,
my own eyes the best Herefordshire bull in the county! Beat that for a weekend treat!
I also got to watch the "goose dog trials" (a sheep dog rounding up geese).
AND I got to see the latest type of grass seed (ideal for grazing)
PLUS I got to look at loads and loads of agricultural equipment. - Bet your Saturday was not that exciting.
Oh, and luckily the floating lady gave a second performance later in the afternoon, so I got to see the floating lady as well!
Amazing the things you see when you spend Saturday in a muddy field on a farm in the middle of nowhere.

On the radio this morning they were telling us that global warming is still happening. All the world will get warmer, except for Northern Europe which will get colder.
England is in Northern Europe!
Figures.
