. . . and well done to everyone (cows, men, women and children).
Today was Grayrigg Show and Strickley was well represented in several sections. It's not just a livestock show (though sheep do feature heavily), but has classes for Produce, Photography, Handicrafts and Children (not that you are allowed to exhibit children - just their work).
We took three cows (2 cows in milk and a heifer in milk). The Dairy classes are interbreed and were keenly contested. We came home with two cups (Reserve Champion and group of three), and an assortment of rosettes (including Best Pair and three firsts). And not forgetting small brown envelopes with cash in. (Not a lot, but the entry fee is only £1 an entry).
Robert and Chris have been busy this past week with their entries in the Collage, Potato Head and picture classes; and both also came home with envelopes of money (free entry).
At the moment I've no photos of any of these successes, but here are James' prizewinning entries in the Photography section. I'm not sure of the top of my head what won what (or was second), but James also has a stash of Little Brown Envelopes.
And finally - these are large files and may take some time to display - but I wanted to do them justice.
