Royal Highland Show, Edinburgh
Went to the Royal Highland Show at Ingliston outside Edinburgh yesterday and had a wonderful day. It rained all the way there and we were a bit worried that it would be a day of dashing from one tent to another to try to keep dry. But actually it stayed dry for most of the day, although conditions underfoot were a bit muddy! We had worn appropriate footware, so we were ok.
Hubby wandered off to see tractors and such like while BF and I immediately headed for the craft and food areas (well, we're townies after all)! Some of the jewellery on display was amazing, but it was a bit crowded to take photos. Was quite impressed by the country girls in their tweeds and riding boots, very fashionable indeed! There were lots of trade areas - even a Cath Kidston area, very pretty.
Did manage a look at the farm machinery and had a good laugh trying to work out what on earth they could possibley be used for!
Couldn't resist taking this photo on the way in - must have really intelligent sheep to be able to read this notice! As for Pink - was she there, and did she really need her own sign?!
No, this is not a pic of hubby! |
The food court was great as there were lots of free samples to be had - loved some of the cheeses and (of course) the fudge and sweet things! Bought a bottle of raspberry gin - incredibly delicious, and my friend bought a bottle of toffee vodka - amazing taste. So I foresee a few good evenings spent making sure these products taste as good at home as they did at the RHS!

A great (but muddy) day out!
