Roberton Show

Attending last year this is our second Roberton show. So nice not be here alone.

We arrived just after 10:30am and walked over to the judging pens.

Above Dutch spotted, Below Cheviot sheep.

More judging.

These blackface sheep have had their fleece dyed brown.

Hebridean sheep won three rosettes!

And more Cheviot sheep.

Young shepherd Anderson with a rosette in his mouth; reminded me of the sheep with a rosette in its mouth at the Ettrick and Yarrow show.

Charlie did not know the breed of this sheep, he said "look at that thing".

Look at the size of this tup, he's enormous.

We visited the Reivers tent, there annual show was awesome this year; people who do the reenactment enjoy providing answers to historical questions.

We enjoyed a bacon roll, coffee and carrot cake inside the food tent.

We watched the shows dog agility.

Then viewed the local craft tent.

There was many more people at this show than are pictured, as we was leaving many people were arriving; we both enjoyed being at this show where we met our neighbors.

In the evening Charlie began mucking out the poly tunnel, he appeared very tired; so I turned out the lights and demanded he come inside the farmhouse to rest.

I stood and watched the incinerator for a while, attempting to calm auditory hallucinations triggered by the show, how far can I be from traumatic infliction of derealisation, to be with a quiet mind, without being chased down hapless by evil.
