Exeter Show

 

We went to the Exeter Show yesterday afternoon.  It was a lovely warm day, not too hot.  Just a bit of fun taking care of our inner child.

First stop - Dagwood dogs.

A tasty lunch.

Okay, we have got what we wanted.

Anya eating Fairy Floss.

We were watching the Clydesdale horses with the wagon rides.

We stopped to watch the wood chopping.

Amazing, the guy at the back was the last to start and the first to finish.  

Time to go home now.

Wooden Boat Festival

We spent a lovely weekend in Hobart at the beginning of February and went to the Wooden Boat Festival.  We watched a play called the "Hell Ship" at the Peacock Theatre and went for a lunch time cruise on the tall ship "Soren Larsen", plus all the other entertainment around Salamanca.  We had a wonderful time catching up with friends, eating, drinking and chatting.  Great time.
