Even harder if you're trying to get the whole fleece off in one go, which is the ideal. What always amazes me about sheep is the way they scamper up and down mountainsides without ever falling down, despite being so top heavy. How the f*** do they do that?<BR/><BR/>The show looks totally amazing.

I'm sort of glad that's all over although now I have young nieces and nephews and today have to hide a bunch of hunting eggs without three labradors scoffing them first! Yep, I think I've seen my last Easter show until the grand kids come along (bloody hell now there's a thought!)<BR/><BR/>Quickroute: We went once and the wine section was right at the entrance. I think it's the only time I've been tipsy at 10.00am!I do like to watch the skateboarders and motocross rather than the animals but being horsey types, we have to spend HOURS looking at other people's ponies!Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-31955112471083393292008-03-23T07:05:00.000+11:002008-03-23T07:05:00.000+11:00Sounds exactly the same as the annual agriculture ...Sounds exactly the same as the annual agriculture show they have here too. I went but since I spent many summers on a farm it wasn't exactly an educational experience. The indoor enclosure stunk of animal pee & poo. There was a wine tasting so i spent most of my time there!Paddy in BA (Quickroute)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12748161252400814925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-28800363388872424172008-03-23T03:36:00.000+11:002008-03-23T03:36:00.000+11:00Been there got the tee-shirt and the grey hair.
