Today I had a great time. The Sheep Show is held in Malvern at the Three counties Showground every few years and it is a serious affair. There are not many hangers-on about. Lots of sheep, collies and shepherds. To give a flavour, here is the list of talks in one of the marquees. It was packed out when I stuck my head in.
Lots of people selling sheep pens, fencing (there was a fencing competition under way too), medication for all sorts of unspeakable diseases, people selling software to record your crosses, shears, things for doing their toe nails. Even someone selling spinning wheels.
Here is Linda Scurr at her stand with 100 skeins each of a different breed of British sheep. There was a steady stream of inquiries, even wanting to buy the felt portrait of her cat. We enjoyed the ice-cream stand (almost next door) whose unique feature is that all the ice-cream is made with sheep's milk.
A few of the attendees.
And two skeins of Leicester Longwool space dyed pink. How could I resist?
