Is this fame at last?


Henry and I have just got back from mingling with the stars (well, meeting one star). We've been to the preview of The Pentalk Archive Exhibition at Rheged, which was opened by John Craven (star of Newsround, Swap Shop or Countryfile depending how old you are). Over the last couple of years the Pentalk network has been gathering together photographs depicting the farming year and from tomorrow (until 22nd April) you can see 100 of them at Rheged. Among those 100 are 4 you may recognise. It's free to enter, and there's loads more to do at Rheged, but catalogues cost £2. So if you want to be mean and just see the photos, here they are. But they look much better at a high resolution, printed and mounted professionally.
There are photographs taken in all weathers and of a wide range of farming (and farming families) activities. But looking at them, ours all seem to have a few things in common that distinguish them from the others .
.
They're all taken on a sunny day
They all show the Robinson family
We all look as though we're enjoying ourselves
And they nearly all include cows!
