Weeton Show

Off today to the Weeton show - no exercise as I was heavily hung over. I decided not to do the trail race, but instead was going to enter the "owner who looks like their dog" in the dog show!

In the end that class was cancelled so was spared the embarassment (and the chance to make the family laugh at my expense).

My eldest entered the "Child Dog Handler" competition and won a credible third prize in her first attempt at such a thing. She is very brave doing such things and not at all phased - I'm always very proud of her for having a go.

It is the first time I have ever been to a country show - sheep, dogs, horses, best sponge cakes, odd-shaped veg, ferret racing and a mad fell race. A strange combination but a lot of fun. Our friends our showing their sheep at the Malham show and we are going to go, and I may have another go at "owner most like dog" as well as the fell race!
