It is down on our showground, so no lengthy journey. Yesterday was the first day, and it closes at 3.30 today, so Tam got the afternoon off work and travelled over yesterday. Rosie was being very loving and delighted by the new farm animals I bought her. I did some baking and made a chocolate apple cake and pineapple upside down cake, though being a dozo, I forget the brown sugar over the pineapple slices. Many years since I last made it. Never mind, it will still be nice with custard. I made a big dish of cheesy potatoes too, Rosie's favourite, and she had a big portion for her tea, but carrots were Off the Menu for her. One chomp and then the carrot was put back on the plate! She was relatively early to bed and Tam and I watched Small Prophets (she'd not seen it yet) and we enjoyed a glass or two of wine.

I don't know how big the Fair will be today. The entrance is where we go as stall holders, around the back, so they are clearly keeping folk off the grass which must be literally floating over on the showground after 6 weeks of non stop rain. I shan't spend much but will check what colours I needed from Doughty's - I think I needed some more cream and some soft greens for a project. Not that I have touched quilting for months - since coming back from NZ. I have done lots of embroidery and knitting though. I definitely need stuffing for Elderberry Bunny, who is a lot more labour intensive than I realized!!
Anyway, I am really looking forward to going. It's nice to have something to look forward to. I had best wash my hair now. Enjoy your weekend.
P.S. L. Whale mending but steadfastly refuses to eat food with his medication on. The paw/claw area looks to be healing well anyway.
