Exford Show

On Wednesday we went to Exford Show which is held in the middle of Exmoor and surrounded by the most stunning scenery. Despite all that goes on in the world there are 2 things that remain constant – the show is a lovely day out, a real social gathering and secondly that the wind always blows up there!

Our friends Julie and Lori are staying with us and they had 2 of Wagtails puppies. They managed to meet up with John and Lin who had another 2 of the litter. The dogs all got on well and it was great to see how they have grown and what characters each of them have developed. For about 60 seconds they stopped playing which enabled Derek to get a picture of them.

The standard of entry in all the classes was very high from Exmoor Horn sheep to working hunters, Exmoor ponies and of course all the family dog show classes. Many of the Exmoor characters were present plus lots of craft stalls and local produce. I managed to buy a couple of presents – I just have to remember where I put them for safe keeping between now and Christmas!

I’m waiting for Derek to return from his walk so I can nip up to Wheddon Cross to sample my first zumbar class. I have a horrid feeling I am going to ache and feel rather tired tomorrow but it should be good fun.
