Kildale Show

A village show in England is a really enjoyable way of spending the day.
Especially in Yorkshire!

This year it was slightly different for me as I was a judge. I was asked to judge the ' Jams and Preserves'.
It was in fact quite a challenge, I had to taste all of the entries, even the Sloe gin!
Here I am before the judging began.

Judging the Jams and Preserves[ and the Sloe Gin!]

At the show, people can enter lots of different competitions, such as photography, best vegetables, flowers, baking.

All sorts of handicrafts, such as knitting, also painting, drawing, flower arranging.

Other judges checking out the giant cabbages.

Of course this is an agricultural show and it is also very important for equestrian competition.
VIntage cars, motorbikes and tractors were displayed .
Kids could watch a juggler and go on the rides and bouncy castle.
The most important tent is of course the bar where we all meet up for a beer [or two!]
