The Three Counties Show


Location: Three Counties Showground at Malvern
Date: Saturday 16 June 2012
Purpose: Everything agricultural

There were animals: 
Rabbits. Guinea Pigs. Turkeys. Chickens. Bantams. Ducks. Sheep. Pigs. Bulls, Cows and Calves. Alpacas. Horses. Pygmy goats. Racing pigeons. Hunting Dogs, Gun Dogs. Owls, Falcons, miscellaneous birds of prey. Bees.
There were shows:
Trick riding. Engines, forging, pole-climbing. Showjumping.
There was food:
Lots and lots of food. (We had Welsh oggies - very nice, and a Yorkshire fruit cake - really nice!)
There was weather:
Serious amounts of rain. £15 wellies purchased on site. Seeking out tents to avoid torrential downpours.

Being a total townie, there was much excitement when the Tamworth Pig took off running during judging. Also much amazement at sheep that resembled horses. And the most enormous bull  and cow I have ever seen. And much 'aw'ing at the pygmy goats snuggled up together to sleep. And I've never seen so many weird and wonderful varieties of chicken!

Quite a fun day out!
