Well we had a very long day yesterday... At 8.30am we set off bound for the New Forest to the New Forest show where the nvs southern branch championships were being held. We arrived just after 12 after getting stuck in some light traffic on the M27. The show as very good ...and bigger than we thought! The weather was great, in fact, it was almost too hot! First of all we headed straight for the veg tent to see the results. Darren (Blickys blog) did very well especially with his plate of five white potatoes. After a bit of lunch we went and watched the drug dogs display, listened to the plonkers play (that really is the bands name) and...oh yes...went and saw the queen as she passed by on the way to her helicopter. Three 4x4s with the oryal family in. That made my day.We came away about 5.30pm and headed to Lymmington to the Ship Inn situated right on the harbour front at the end of a lovely old-fashioned cobbled street. I can seriously recommend their food as i had the mussells and they were beautiful.
After a good night in there with plenty of drinks and laughs we eventually got back in the midlands for 12.30am and we were all knackered by then but a good day was had by all. I took some photos of the day and especially of Darrens achievements...
