Did you miss the Shepton Mallet Mid-Somerset show today Sunday 17th?

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..

I Fasted for 29 Hours but Still Not Hungry—Why?

I have become aware that my food is taking longer and longer to digest and I'm fed up with taking medications such as Lansoprazole (PPI), sodium bicarbonate (not a medicine but a balancer) , and that dreadful sickly pink stuff, Gaviscon, which 'does it' for my Barrett's acid stomach when all else fails but should not be relied upon.

Dog shows and competitions featured strongly as did traditional dancing. My impression was that...

Take a deep breath for this one because it's going to be a long account Birthday Breakfast I have often wondered how people make heart shapes though I agree this is more like an onion.

Lyme Regis + predatory seagulls

Today Wednesday Francoise felt strongly that she wanted to go to Lyme Regis and what a good decision that was. The weather was hot without being stifling, and the crowds were out in force. We jumped on the hourly bus from Bridport that runs along the coast and 50 minutes later we had arrived. The beach was full but actually it did not matter as everyone was in such a good mood. Francoise decided...
