Last Wednesday we took a day off to visit the Balmoral Show. The weather was just perfect. I came across the cattle judging first.
Look at that sky!
I spent a lot of time walking around the sheep pens (of course).
Pigs and goats share a pavillion.
Alpacas!
A yellow tractor…
And the yellow JCB Dancing Diggers in the Main Arena – the first time they’ve been at Balmoral in my lifetime. The synchronised driving doesn’t translate well to still images but it was very impressive in person.
After a delicious burger for lunch, I got myself an ice cream cone and watched some showjumping in the Main Arena.
The Horse Rings were busy busy busy.
A quick stop in the rabbits and poultry pavilion.
(At least we now know the answer to that age-old question.)
A goose.
One more horse for luck.
I had a fun day. Until next year…
