Following on from yesterday’s post, these shots show some of the sheep competition at the Otley agricultural show. There were some very proud sheep owners and many different breeds on display. These shots show the owners holding their entries in check, being inspected and judged. Click one to make bigger.
Shockingly poor weather still in the UK, albeit late May. Had to get out anyway, so went off to the Otley show in West Yorkshire. Otley is an old town on the north side of Leeds / Bradford, pushing towards the rugged countryside that lies north. They’ve held a ‘show’ here for 200+ years and it is mostly an agricultural type show with awards for best livestock, etc.
Next post I’ll show some animals in detail, but now I’m just showing a few candid shots of the countryside dress code, which mainly consist of ‘Wellington’ boots and wax and tweed jackets.
Three day weekend here, and the weather was cold / wet as usual. But we attempted to brave it out by going to Farnborough Head on England’s east coast.
#1 – a father and daughter wait closer to shore keeping dry.
#2 is my son running back in after being attacked by the cold tidal water coming in. We also got visited by a seal who bobbed up occasionally to look at the lunatics who brave English weather on the shore. You can see the seal (little black dot) on the left in the 2nd shot.
#3 Draining the water out on the way back home….
