Last Sunday I headed up the motorway with my brother & his family to the annual Dig For Victory show, this was our first year & we weren't disappointed.
Warning: photo overload!

I came away with a selection of food goodies..... fantastic chocolate & ginger fudge.
We had a great day, the highlight was the educational game for children.... I think I enjoyed it more than Matthew! We knitted, used a mangle, a stirrup pump & lots more.
The down side...... having a hot 5 year old with a cold. He had a big hissy fit in the middle of the field!
I can't wait for next year.
Looks like a fab day Joe. I'll keep an eye out for it next year. x
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs, Joe. Looks like you had a wonderful time. Hope the chocolate and fudge went down well ;-) x

Twas a fab day, wasn't it? We went over on Saturday for the afternoon - next year we're hoping to go for the whole weekend and enter our 1952 Scammell lorry in the vehicle section! :-) xx
