parading!

I went over to the Duvauchelle A&P Show with Nicki and Alex in early January. Duvauchelle is a small rural settlement on Bank's Peninusula and the A&P (Agricultural and Pastoral Show) is an annual tradition. We especially enjoyed the shearing and the competition shed which had categories for best cakes, best vegetables, sewing, embroidery - in fact everything! We sat and watched the Grand Parade which had all the competition animals in it, and enjoyed Rosemary (Nicki's mum's) bacon and egg pie. There was also some show jumping which included the farting horse, and the dog who thought he was a horse and tried to join in with the jumping (under the feet of a horse - eek!)
