The Last Show
After a summer of goats, show jumping, fine ales and good food today brought the last show of the year.
The County Show always seems to me to be more a final sigh that the countryside has made it through another year. It seems a final farewell to fields of ripened crops and animals brought to the peak of perfection for the show ring.
In keeping with a grand finale it’s too large an undertaking to try to see it all and best tackled by wandering where you will and generally enjoying what you come across.
An added treat this year was meeting Neil, who I worked with at my last job. Free now from the terrors of working in IT (or perhaps from working for me) he seems happy and well.
It’s good to see people get on in life and find out what they want to do. Maybe one day that will be me.
