This little steam engine was made from scratch by our neighbour. The next five tractors beyond it down the line also belong to him and have been/are being restored by him.
The top four are his . . .
I think I remember rightly being told that this green tractor was a 1940s vintage.
Entries in the local class (from the parish) under 13.2hh. This Section A foal not only won its class but I believe was the local champion too.
A magnificent set of horns on one of the Jacob rams.
I am so tempted to say that this is the sheep-wrestling class, but no, it is just a bevy of sheep being shown, for some reason, without halters . . . There was lots of fun when one took it into its head to run away!
The weather looked threatening, but the rain held off. Sheep pens and judging at the bottom of the pic. It's interesting to see our neighbouring parish from a different angle.
This was SOME bull. I'm not a bovine expert, but it looks well made to me and hey, he's got the red rosette!
This is my neighbour's lovely cob mare who won her class.
These love spoons are made by Mr Martin from Llanfynydd. I think they are absolutely superb.
A close-up of some of the spoons.
The lighter spoon on the left is all made from one piece of wood, carefully worked at until the balls in the handle run free and turn, and each link of the chain is carefully carved. I think I will have to do a special post about love-spoons when I have caught up with myself.
Some of the entries in the sewn handicrafts competitions.
Entries in the jewellery making class.
Some of the entries in the flower classes - this one must have been unusual container or something, hence the wellies.
Now that's what you CALL onions. I think the same chap got first, second AND third!, though that was hardly surprising.
This would be the Bara Brith end of the cake competitions. They look pretty good don't they? Just the thing to go down with a mug of tea though to be honest, there were a few interested flies about . . ..
These are the entries for the Longest Thistle competition, which always makes me smile. I could have easily won Longest Dock plant last year . . .
