A&H show 2013

So much has been happening here, hence my absence from Norfolk Exposure lately. We just had a wonderful week-and-a-bit with Ben's Mum and Dad who flew over to stay with us. It was ten days of playing Lego trains, trips to the beach, indulging in Ma's baking (I'm sure I ate my own weight in cake) and late night chin-wags. Till and Harry were so sad to see them go, as were Ben and I :(

On the 12th, 13th and 14th of October we had Norfolk's annual Royal A&H Show. It feels like a lifetime ago, perhaps because the lead-up days were hectic, or maybe because this term is flying by at a rate of knots. Both Harry and Till were involved in numerous equestrian events this year, so much so I didn't see much of the show itself! It's OK, I'm happy to be a "horse mum" (just remind me to never soak the jodphurs with the chaps again....I *ahem* may have turned Harry and Till's pants purple). 

The display of entries was top notch, as always. Harry and Till were awarded serveral prizes for artworks and Lego models, and received a few equestrian ribbons too.

My clever mother-in-law entered a beautiful quilt, a cross stitch (her own unique design) and a jar of the most delicious strawberry jam. Ma was awarded first place for all her entries...yes, she's a very talented lady!

Harry's Lego model of St Barnabas recieved quite a lot of attention. The amount of work he put into it was astounding, so we were pretty chuffed to learn he'd been awarded Most Outstanding Exhibit by a Primary School Pupil! Matilda's gorgeous Lego Fairy Garden was awarded first place in the infants section. She spent months working on her model too.
