T Stands For....the hawk on my head!

Well, a Kestrel actually!

We had a lovely day out at Lowther Country Show last Saturday!
A backdrop of the castle and lots to see!

 The display was brilliant and afterwards we called by the area where the hawks were on perches and while we were chatting with the owner he asked would I like to hold one, so I did and then he popped it on my head while he carried on talking to hubby - it felt amazing!
We saw these in one of the marquees..

Must say I wasn't so keen on the frog disappearing in to the snakes mouth!!They are made from carved sheep's horns.

We watched a display of Cossack riders and went back after lunch to see them from a different angle!

We also watched some pig races!!!

We had taken coffee, and drank it before we set off walking around and took sandwiches too but decided after eating them in the car at lunchtime that we would walk up to the castle to use their 'facilities' and treat ourselves too!
Of course Bleubeard and Elizabeth invite us every Tuesday to share our drinks (and food sometimes)over at The Altered Booklover

  

Here is one patient hubby waiting for me to take some scone(it was huge!!)to go with his tea and my Filter coffee.

After lunch we went back to the show and walked by the river - there was a fly fishing demonstration on and in one of the tent at the side they were making 'flies'. 

Well, I just had to have a go!!!

Some of the flies are beautiful - the man let me keep mine so I don't think it was quite what they wanted!!! It's in a little jar at the caravan - just in case I ever get the yearning to go fly fishing!!!

I am late because tomorrow we are having a Messy Day and I have been preparing samples and supplies to make the day (fingers crossed) run smoothly! I've got 10 ladies coming and the chef is cooking us lunch!!

I'll show you photos next week!

Meanwhile, I may be some time before I come avisiting!!!

Thanks for looking, Chris
