I had a wonderful day out at the Dorset County Show yesterday. It was great fun, very noisy, very busy, and too much to see in just one day. The warm sunny weather meant that it was really well attended and there was a sea of people as far as the eye could see – all having a good time. I especially enjoyed getting up close to all the farm animals – like these delightful Oxford Sandy and Black Pigs from the Ansty Herd near Dorchester. The piglets were really cute. Children just loved putting their fingers through the enclosure mesh to tickle the piglets, and the piglets seemed to be pleased with all the attention.

Your post reminds me why I need to get to some of our smaller Ohio county fairs more often.

It is always so rewarding – so much to see in the one place.

I loved the way that it was possible to get right up close to many of the animals. The crowds, the stalls, the fun fair, and all the events were enjoyable too and afforded great photo opportunities (I might post some of those over on the other site eventually – but for the moment I’m packing for my trip to Dingle!)

I’ve seen these lovely creatures in Oxfordshire but I didn’t know there were some do close to us in Dorset… I’ve dragged out the sign with the details for future ref – perfect grandchildren diversion!

They certainly were the cultist little creatures. I hope your grandchildren get to see something just like them.
