It's Showtime













Well, we are back in blighty and normal service will now be resumed. As will the normal English summer weather it would appear - raining, thick fog, and a little bit chilly.


Mad dogs and Englishwomen are going out despite there being no midday sun. Today it was the 65th Annual Froggatt Horticultural Show. I haven't been since I was a revolting teenager, all you got to do at the show back then was admire the vegetables and listen to the brass band. To my delight and surprise, nothing had changed!


OK - they were obviously a few changes, there were old cars to look at, and a few more stalls to amuse, and it was £2 to get in. We cooed over the cabbages, were brought close to tears by the onions, and were amazed at the size of one of the marrows.
