Though I prefer to spend any free time I have looking at the farm animals at the show, it's impossible to miss the countless stands selling anoraks and other useful things such as...
...septic tanks.
The emergency services also have a presence there, this Fire Service exhibit being particularly gruesome, I thought!
Fortunately, as I made my way back to our marquee towards the end of the afternoon, I happened to walk past the assembly point for the parade of champions. For once, I felt the expression "more than you could shake a stick at" was most apt.
Such patience and good natured behaviour and not a prima donna amongst them!
