The Henly-on-Thame show
This agricultural show was all it was cracked up to be. I finally saw my large marrow… so I went home a happy chappy. To top the day off, we saw cattle, large pumpkins, chooks, large onions, goats, large carrots, draught horses, large carrots, historic tractors, large leeks, classic cars and of course large marrows! (did I say this already?)
I found a brewery who were selling their ales named “Bob” and “Swift”. My father’s father was “Bob Swift” and we know how he liked a beer, so I had to try ‘em!
I also managed to purchase a new set of “wellies” or wellington boots. What we Aussies call “gum boots”. I’ve tried them out in the mud (there is plenty of that over here) and they are working just fine.
The photos are HERE all three pages but all worth a peek!
But here’s me and my marrow!
Hey you left out the large beans and gave the large carrots 2 mentions. BTW how much were your gumboots??
Wow, you’ve grown…
Large beans weren’t that spectacular, but yes, they were there!
Gumboots £15 – nice lined boots… not used to wearing them though. I have since walked into the supermarket wearing them…
