This morning, despite not having tidied up or got ready for the barbeque, this afternoon, we decided to go to a local Farming Show. We parked at my friend's house and walked the rest of the way to the Show. My friend and her family normally accompany us, but due to the loss of one of her dogs in an accident, she didn't feel up to coming (Big Hugs to P) so it was just me, Mr Messy, Drama Teen, Little Prince and Fraulein. We saw many different tractors - from the downright ancient ones to huge modern ones, and we had to stop and study them all. Mr Messy and Little Prince thought they were fascinating. There was also a vintage car show, with a military section - where Little Prince was thrilled to find a real Sarge (American army jeep from the Disney Pixar film Cars).
Me and the girls were more interested in the craft tents, where I bought a Russian fairy and small Russian wooden doll, to hang on the Christmas tree, I like to have decorations from all over the world on our tree (they are a lot prettier than my picture shows!!). Fraulein was going to buy her mum a necklace from one of the stalls, but changed her mind when she saw how expensive they were!! After the craft tents we made our way to the donut van - very sickly, freshly made donuts, yum :-) We all only had one each, we couldn't manage any more!
After that we had just about enough time to look at the various other outdoor stalls, and a quick wander through the poultry exhibition. I was surprised at Little Prince's interest in the ducks and chickens, he wanted to look at each one and comment on them. Then we found the local ferret society had a little stall, and they brought out ferrets for people to handle. Little Prince spent ages there, stroking one ferret and then just watching the others in their pen. He has never really taken much notice of any livestock before, so this was lovely to see :-) We then had to rush off back to the car and back home, to greet our already arrived guests!!
