112th Exeter Show 2026

We went to the Exeter Show today, along with the Spyder Riders Tasmania.  Last year we had looked at the Sypders at the Exeter Show and this year we are one of the group.  We had a great time meeting some of the members, and looking around the exhibitions at the show.  We caught up with Crystal and Gerrard for a bite of lunch at Burt Monroe's.

Life doesn't get much better than this.

Chinese New Year - The Year of the Fire Horse

I enjoy decorating for Chinese New Year, and eating Chinese food.  We went shopping at Tsing Wah to stock up on a few things.

My little Chinese Water Carriers - I've had these for a few years.

My Japanese Geisha. 

I bought one similar in Bendigo with my Grandma.

Happy Chinese New Year.
