We spent most of the day wandering around and just taking pictures so I'm afraid they're not going to be in any particular order just as I took them. I have put a brief explanation under each one. The weather was perfect and the turnout was excellent. I reckon they could do a two-day show if they wanted but maybe that is too great a demand on peoples time.. Anyway folks I hope you get some idea...

A comforting chat with a friend amidst the chaos
In this dialogue I discuss my disappointment at the reactions of certain people when I do things for them. I am aware that virtue is its own reward and I do things because it is in my nature so to do but it is nice to get acknowledgment, at least from the human point of view Brian: Sometimes I get so full of facts and information, and I’ve come to realize we need to prepare ourselves for a...

Everyone feels they have to defend a position but if we are all learning what's the matter with admitting that we don't understand...
Arguing with Them Really Expanded My Regret Portfolio
I found this on NextDoor.co.uk, a quote by Helen Mirren the actress. "Before you argue with someone, ask yourself, is that person even mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective. Because if not, there's absolutely no point. Not every argument is worth your energy. Sometimes, no matter how clearly you express yourself, the other person isn’t listening to...
Clutton Garden Show – a pictorial tour
Same as last year but many more people due to the clement weather, if slightly windy. So the deal was £4 to get in for adults. There was a very good cake tent but by the time we arrived just after 2:00 p.m., the show having opened at midday, there was very little food left.The bars were doing well. Dog shows and competitions featured strongly as did traditional dancing. My impression was that...
