Sunday was the day the public could attend the Sutton Bonington show in Leicestershire, the local events having already been held on Saturday.
We travelled to the venue, to join both of our daughters and our eight year old grandson.
It was packed with revellers, who had either children or dogs or both in tow.
The many and mixed smells of cooking wafted about the large field, which was set out with many craft exhibit tents, side shows, various activities, birds of prey, bee keeping, hen coops, garden nurseries, tombola, cake stalls, Ferret runs, calf's, sheep, archery, mini golf, to name but a few.
The central arena continually changed, as log chopping events gave way to various breeds of different animals on show.
I never heard a cross word in the 31/2 hours we were there, evidence of the good time being had by everyone.
We had taken a picnic lunch and found a quiet spot near by to enjoy our break.
Dancin' from over at In the Pink, ( blog site in my side bar on the right) was the only one to remember to take photos.
I will have to refer you to her site to do the show its full justice, as a very memorable day out.
Next years event will be on September 4 2011. If you are looking for a good fun day out, I can assure you this will be the place where you will find it.

Hello! Great post! And thanks for the blog referal, unfortunately I only took photos of all of us, the rest of the time in the show ground I was too busy playing! Sometimes you have to forgoe photos to enjoy something and I had a brilliant time being silly with our little lad, as always! xx
Hey no problem about pictures. It was a great day and so good to be together.
Silly is good and our lad loves it.
See you soon be well.
Enjoyment thats what counts my friend.
Hi Imac and thanks for your visit.
I agree with you enjoyment is most important.
The people we saw were certainly doing that and we joined them.
Its a rare thing for there not to be some upset, a child falling or lost their parents.
There was non and smiles in abundance every where.
Next time I will try the archery. Another wish of mine.
