A long day today, but happy and successful. The GRW show down at Pembrey Country Park in Carmarthenshire. We left home at 8 and arrived at the site just before 9.30. We marked out the rings, car parking areas and areas for stalls etc... By 10.30 the first entrants needed to be registered and from then till 1 it was a steadily building crowd. In fact by 1, we still had a long queue to register (see photo below). Two lovely judges worked their magic, and I helped to keep the supply of rosettes coming. We also had a stall from Ferret Rescue with some lovely little ferrets on it, an animal painter, and a couple of other animal rescue organisations. Amazingly, and I am still shocked to write this, the weather was wonderful. It didn't rain. Judging finished around 3.30 and we packed up. Left around 4.45, both knackered and happy. Dived into a nice hot bath and drank the most enormous gin, then watched a Johnny Cash documentary. Blimey, what a sexy voice he had, and a real presence. Now off to bed, to snore contentedly.
