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?
