Only joking! We were thrilled and surprised to find that we had won 12 prizes between us, plus 3 of the 5 Best of Show Categories - Produce, Cookery, and Arts & Crafts. Amazing.
Yes - that late entry - the onions won first prize. And splendid they look too - I was worried about the lack of uniformity - but they were obviously good enough because they also won Best in Show for the Produce Section.
The jug of flowers which I almost decided not to take did well - and George's courgettes were obviously so good that someone stole two of them!
and finally, a couple of photos of the crowds at the show. With many thanks to Vintage Photographer for his kind help with these photographs. I had your camera with me Jonny but I was totally incapable of taking many pics because I just kept going round and round checking that we really had won. George got a prize for his cheese scones, a first for his biscuits, I won with my painted stone and also with my still life photograph.
The hard work paid off and we now have three neat little trophies on the bureau - for a year - and a tidy pile of certificates to prove it.
Signing off now - we have agreed to help out with the Pub fund-raiser tomorrow so we'll be out there before 11am putting up tables, organising car parking and manning the refreshment table at their car boot sale. More news of that tomorrow - and photographs! x
George got Third place for his cheese scones - drum roll please - I was... UNPLACED! The good thing is that he gets to do all the baking now, so I count that as a result.
Ruddy well done both of you, ruddy well done!
