Regular readers will know that we’re based in the Pennine market town of Todmorden, and today was the town’s annual agricultural show.
It was held in the lovely setting of Centre Vale Park – surrounded by trees.
There was all manner of stuff to see – a funfair and brass bands playing in the bandstand.
lots of local food produce – pies, preserves, meats, fruit, vegetables, honey and cheese…
…and stalls selling outdoor wear & country attire…
There was some great vintage farm machinery on display.
The stars of the show, of course, were the animals!
Some were being judged, some were racing…
…and some were there simply to be petted or appreciated for their beauty…
…horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, birds of prey and bees.
There was a really good crowd – young & old.
There were some dark clouds and drizzle in the morning and a few worried looks, but it brightened up nicely.
It was a really enjoyable afternoon – thoroughly recommended if you’re in the area this time next year!

I want an orange fridge/freezer too! Most definitely the orange!
