Rai Valley


Yesterday we were out at the Rai Valley A & P show. I love a country fair.




A lovely, unpretentious, rural event.


 The weather was perfect, strong sun and a cool breeze.



 The whole area turns out.



The antique hay baling steam engine put on a display, puffing away.



My idea of a perfect day out.





More to come.

  1. I so agree with you that the smaller agricultural shows are so much better. It looked and sounded like a wonderful day :-)

  2. for some reason I was drawn to the picture of the hay. It has a kind of ''Englishness'' about it....an English country scene.You're definitely filling your days with new adventures Jan!
