I don't know what breed this sheep was, but its fleece had been carefully trimmed, leaving it flat as a table top!
Cute or what?
A magnificent set of horns (or 2) on this Jacob ram.
A pair of dainty Balwen.
Magnificent vegetables (my onions never get that big!)
My favourite display - the Dig For Victory garden - the two next photos are different views of it.
I loved this recreation - complete with the old loo at the bottom of it! Lots of my favourite cottage garden flowers.
Part of the same garden, just a different view. I have two old Belfast sinks like that in my garden - one has Marjoram in it, and the other spring bulbs, and now some Petunias and Nasturtiums.
There were stunning displays.
These insectiverous plants are a long way from the little Sundews I used to tease with a stalk of grass when I was a kid.
There were several craftsmen's stalls specializing in turned and carved wood.
Much bigger bits of trees had been used for these wonderful carvings.
In the background is the Mari Llwyd (seperate posting about that later on), with a couple from the folk party from Cornwall. Had I gone on the Saturday, I would have been able to see Appalachian Clog Dancers (Nancy, I was miffed about that!)
This was one of the gelded Alpacas.
There is always a good display of tractors there. This old Fergie used to belong to Barbara's husband, and has now been restored to show condition.
