Let's go to Winterton Show

Good morning. It is Sunday. 
The weather today will be cloudy and windy, so says my computer. It was very windy yesterday when I drove to Roxby village and left my car there, to walk to Winterton Show. It's a four mile circular walk along open fields. Very pleasant it was too. 
I spent a couple of hours there. Didn't take many photo's because I have seen it all before. 
Here is a post from July 2024. Lots of photo's there. 
And July 2025 I see the entrance fee has gone from £10 to £15 this year. 

That's a natty little kitchen at the back of a tiny pod, pulled along by a gorgeous trike. 

Decorated floats circumnavigate the ring. Give the kids a wave. They are loving it. 


Out of the wind inside the big tents. It was very hot under cover. I thought about taking a stand in the craft tent. I'm glad I didn't, it was stifling in there. 

The wind was still raging as I walked back to the car. I met a dog walker and we agreed how nice and warm it was, even with a breeze. 
I don't think I need to go again next year. I am running out of new places to visit within half an hour from home. 
Enjoy your Sunday. Toodle pip.   ilona

    1. Hi Levi. If I am going out locally for about 3 - 4 hours, I have a substantial meal before I go. I take snacks, maybe a sandwich, and a drink with me, that will see me through until I get home. I don't buy food when I am out. I take enough to last me.

  2. @Yes I agree, they are usually the same every year, but I still go to the Staffordshire County Agricultural Show every year, but try to concentrate on a different thing each year. Easy to do as it's so big. This year I watched the show jumping which was actually quite exicing as they were eliminated in each round and knocked jumps down,... and they were so graceful,... horses and riders. I also spent alot of time in the WI tent,... mainly because of the portable air conditioning units they had in there - I guess to stop all the cakes from melting lol ..... Norma in Stafford.
