Frome (Cheese (and Agriculture)) Show

Today was the annual Frome Show.  It was super!

We didn't punish ourselves, as we usually do, and left the dogs at home; just worrying about Oscar is enough for us to deal with.

Dog trials 
Friendly Axe Men, yes friendly!

Super sheep!

Crazy horns

HUGE, horned cows


Loads of varieties of goats

Again, a high quality of show jumping

Amazing oversized vegetables

Stunning flowers



WOW

Onions, yes this are gargantuan Onions

Sets of dressed onions

Nicky's hand in shot, just incase you didn't get the scale




Nicky was playing with exposure to get this alien flower shot





This array of giant veg was on display as you entered the horticultural tent

Won't give up...

This poor courgette plant has been through the wars but refuses to die.  It's been trampled on by George, dug up by cats and pulled out by Oscar. In a rather desperate act to cling on to life it is the first to flower out of all our cucurbits (I bet I haven't spelt that properly...)!
