Saturday was one of those steamy July days when a craft marquee isn’t the best place to spend the day. Luckily for me, I was able to escape at regular intervals and check out some of the goings on at the Mid Devon Show. There’s always lots to see, but I only ever manage little glimpses. Here are some of them, starting with some classic cars.
Classic sports car
Rows of Minis
A splendid 1913 Rover
An old local fire engine
Being a country show there are always plenty of flowers.
Cottage garden plants
Lots to choose from
Bugs hotels are very popular
Add some rural crafts.
Willow basket making
Spinning a yarn
Bobbins for Honiton lace
Tasty treats.
I’d better not linger here
But the Ceylon Curry House do the best lunch!
Found it!
The odd tractor is a must
And I’d love one of these.
A burst of Kalash Tribal is a must see.
‘The Widecombe Wag’ interviews Kelly
Dynamic and feminine
Mesmerising
What would a country show be without some livestock?
So, that was the Mid Devon Show 2014, and I’m already looking forward to next year, maybe you’ll be there too?

The same every year, aren’t they, Gilly? Were you exhibiting on the crafts stalls? 🙂
Yes, with my friend who does an awful lot more of the crafting than I do these days!
Ooh, Gilly, I’d like one of those too. Maybe we could have one next door to each other – just for creating 🙂
It was beautiful Myfanwy, I’d like it to be surrounded by a lovely garden! It would be so inspiring 🙂
Love the new header. Fantabulous! ❤
Sounds like a fun day, Gilly. Aren't those vintage cars amazing? 😀
It was great Tess, I liked the sporty silver number!
~(*_~)~~
I love fairs. It looks like it was heaven.
Yep, loads to see and do!
Oh Gilly! I love the new template. It showcases your photos very well…. Are you back on track again. Happy to stop by. 🙂
Thanks Eliz, I’m always behind with everything 🙂
Looks like a lot of fun!
Great for photography, if you are free to wander!
A nice variety of things to see – and the sheep are rather pretty 🙂
I only saw a very tiny bit!
First of all, stunning header and love the theme Gilly. What a fun visit you had there. I would love a little house like that as well. I think the vervets would love it! 😀
Thank you so much! I think we all need a little place like that as a studio or vervet home!
I think I’ll be all fine living in that tiny lodge. It reminds me of Hagrid’s (of Harry Potter) little place. And I’m eyeing that Rover too. 🙂
I think its a hobbit house and I love it!
The English really do great country shows, Gilly. I enjoyed resting from my packing for just a moment, to have a look at your lovely pics. 🙂
I’m happy to give you an excuse to rest 🙂
Fairs are so much fun. I enjoy attending them when we have them here.
The livestock areas is usually my favorite since I don’t see anything like that. Great section of photos showcasing a fun day. : )
Thanks Issy, I never get as much time as I’d like but I did have fun!
What great fun Gilly! How I wish I could join you next year 🙂
I think it’s probably compulsory honey, it’s always the last Saturday in July!
