Royal cornwall show

One of my favourite things to do in early june is to go to the Royal Cornwall Show. The show is on a show ground with 1oo's of acres to walk around, our day begins there at around 10.30am and probably does not end until around 6.00pm, very tiring but worth every aching step !

This is the biggest show in the south west farming calender, farmers and public come from every part of the county and further in some cases to show their animals.

You can buy anything from a brand new tractor to an alpaca or a new B M W car to a baby rabbit !! the choice is yours. There is also a show ring where different things are always going in, this year we had a human cannonball LOL

My favourite places are where all the animal are, the piggy pens are the best they are so cute, then we venture into the cow sheds where you have to be careful of where you are treading LOL, the size of some of these animals are amazing, but such gentle giants.

Then we have the food and drink marquee , you can try different tasters smoked duck was superb , for lunch i had a fresh Cornish crab sandwich, tony had a gluten and wheat free curry, followed by fresh strawberries and clotted cream is your mouth watering now?

Anyway here are a few photos of the day.

An old gypsy caravan

In cornwall we still have steam rallys

quite alot the smell is great when they

are working

So much work is put into getting the

animals just perfect for the show, as you can

see this cow was having a blow dry to get it in

peak condition




Thought this was unusual , there are so

many different breeds of animal here

"All this waiting around has left me so tired i've

now fallen asleep in my water bowl"

My favouirtes the piggies Top and Tailed

They all seem so stressed out i don't think!!

A fine specimen, think this one

won first prize

Hope you have enjoyed the trip out, we did not buy that BMW or a rabbit but i did come home after having a really lovely day with some fresh homemade sausages, cornish potatoes and srawberries
