The Village Show

 

Last week I spent getting prepared for the village show sorting out what I wanted to enter and some photo boards for a group I was helping out with.

One think I was entering was the Cucumber section where you had to submit two well this is what I picked that morning, the longest the curved one was 18" long. We picked the best two out

 
The show tent before everyone arrived

 
These were a few of the food and drink places getting set up

 
 The local volunteers help people around the village with food and shopping and run a food bank once a week, this all came out of Covid

 
This is where I helped out it was mainly about the Village archive and history

 
It got busy later in the day

 
The tent was busy most of the time when Judging finished 

 
Some of the items on show


Vegetable selection, I can see why it won

 
I did like this little fairy garden 

 
I did not do as well as last year but I did win again with the cucumbers 


And a first with one of my photos. My wife got a couple of firsts and a second with her drawings and knitting and my son got a second with his small table he made very happy with the results.


But I do wonder if I would have got any where with this cucumber I found in the greenhouse the next day, Think it would have done well in the oddest shaped vegetable


Take Care
