The night before Heckington Show. Part 2

Hello. I'll carry on where I left off, see the previous post, before being interrupted by a very loud singer. Video number 2. Friday night. What else is there to look at. 
And now a few pics of the actual event on Saturday. My favourites, the Shire Horses. 





This made me laugh. Wonder if the BBC will go back to using basic equipment for their outdoor broadcasts, when everybody stops paying their TV licence. 

I had a chat with the owner. He has had the vehicle for a long time, and it is kitted out like a bedsit small flat. It has everything you need for a tiny house. 
Some unusual and colourful tractors. 

This old crock was brought here on the back of a trailer. 
This looks too clean to go and work in a muddy field. 
I thought these prices were too high. The course was a short run along a straight piece of grass, and back.
First prize for someone who painted a picture of The Red Arrows.
 
The Blighty Belles did the show proud. First class entertainment. Their repertoire went from the 40's through to the 60's. Great foot tapping stuff. Check out their web site for more information. 
By mid afternoon I decided that I wanted to escape the crowds so I walked out of the show and into Heckington Village. I have pics of that coming soon. 
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona

  1. The Shire Horses are so beautiful. It is really funny thinking about the BBC using older equipment. And that vehicle with the bedsit inside sounds so cool, like a tiny home adventure.

    1. To dress a horse up like that takes almost a whole day. They stand there patiently munching on a bag of hay while the humans get to work with the decorations.
