CountrySideLive

With my grandson staying this weekend and in the need to keep him (and me) amused we took off to the CountrySideLive event at the Great Yorkshire Showground this morning. The highlight of the day was going to be the ferret racing. Combine that with the fact that Jan had previously said she wanted to take a look at the showground then it was a no brainer.
I must be getting very cynical in my old age but I couldn't help noticing that the car park was full of 4x4s and the uniform worn by the great and good of Yorkshire comprised of a wide brimmed felt 'cowboy' hat, a green quilted waistcoat over a checked viyella shirt and tight trousers tucked into suede/leather boots (Hunters if that didn't look right). All very posh and very Country Life.
Jan, being a townie, but a wannabe  squire's lady, decided that she wanted to buy the uniform but we had only just managed to scramble together enough cash for the entrance fee, coffee and a few 'authentic' cornish pasties from a van. We'll save up for the next outing.
