Sandringham Walk

Jenn was home for her birthday at the end of last month and we 

had a lovely morning together.

Had a great Italian lunch and then went for a walk at

Sandringham.

Sandringham is the Queen's Norfolk Home. 

We love going there and having a long walk in the woods 

laughing, chatting and putting the world to rights.

I love my time with Jenn.

She is a wonderful young woman!

(Proud Mum talking here).

As you can see we just had to cuddle the 'Bear'!

Cooking at Sandringham

Walking round and round is all very well.

Stewart and I sat in one of the many demonstration marques.

This one was The Country Kitchen.

With the TV chef Alan Coxon.

He combines cooking with history of the origins of ingredients.

Ray a member of the audience helped out

and did really well.

Spinning sugar and presenting.

Traction Engines

I am inspired by so many things.

These traction engines remind you

of a more sedate time but also

marvel at their restoration and dedication of their owners.

This ring had had the horses and their carriages

just minutes before.

Stewart and the Hawk

As you go into the show, you can hear the noise of the commentators telling you

what is going on in the different rings

and the hum of steam engines and

chainsaws!

This is Stewart stood next to one of the chainsaw

scuptures, amazing.

Stewart is 6ft 4"!

Barney The Owl

Stewart and I just love visiting all the different marques

with the different exhibits, crafts, birds and ferrets.

The birds go into the show ring and fly free.

Some were delightful because they really did fly and ignored their

handlers, coming back when they wanted to!

This owl loved his handler and cooed and flaped his wings

when she whispered to him.
