Went to the Smallholders Show at Builth Wells today, with my wife Tracy, and a friend's little boy. I've been going to this event for 5 years now, and it always makes a good day out. Thought I would show a few pics taken today.
Livestock is a big part of this event, obviously. For me, the pigs are always the highlight.
Suckling pig anyone?
Tracy prefers the goats.
Lots of other stuff around though. Saw some lovely tools, wooden bowls, and agricultural stuff.
After this shot, he had to buy a toy tractor, and it had to be a blue one
There were fun activities for the kids, particularly a circus activities section. I failed at spinning a plate and using stilts, and fell off a unicycle. But I got some time being a kindly uncle, which was fun.
There was an excellent chap with some interesting bugs. The scorpion is blue because a UV light is being shone on it. The second pic is a giant cockroach, one of my favourite bugs.
The other use for pigs. Pork roll. Very good it was too.
For me the highlight was when Tracy joined in the maypole dancing. Just because she looks so happy.
Great day out, and looking forward to next year now. Might also go the the game fair 16-17th June this year.
