This weekend was Moorgreen County Show, held near Watnall in Nottinghamshire.
there were knitted farmyard scenes, complete with ducks, rabbits, chickens pigs and farmers. birds of prey, including my favourite, the Merlin.heavy horses and heavy men with moustaches prize winning cattle steam engines and vintage ambulances.
Poi, on fire and with LED lights inside. Flail them around (precision and skill required so as not to burn oneself) and make pretty pictures with slow shutter speeds.
Our first night, camping by the roadside because everywhere was full and we had nowhere else to go. The view from our second campsite, much more civilised. An old church and graveyard overlooking a beautiful clear blue bay. Playing pixies in a botanical garden After the rain.
this platform jutted out above a gorge, at the bottom of which was a waterfall not very inspiring weather for long walks all photos: nrUllapool, Scotland, in April.
