Kingswinford Show

Well, Pat Richardson was the first to set off at 7.30 am this morning, Sandra went to fetch Sue Kilburn, so we would be ready to set off to Mick Turnidge's when Pat got to my house. We all got into Mick's car. Kingswinford, Ere we come.
We got out of the car and we were HIT with a really mouth watering smell. Bacon Frying .Sue said, "If Elaine is not cooking bacon I will knock on all the doors in the area till I find who is cooking it". On entering the hall it was nice to see Sid there looking so well after his illness. Good to see you Sid.
The four of us mingled and chatted after a hot drink and yes, a bacon buttie (well the roving reporter had a couple of butties). Jenny approached us to buy raffle tickets - no strongarm tactics but my shoulder still hurts. My tickets ranged from 351 to 355. Our meeting passed with no hitches. So back to the chatting and mingling. I offered to judge the pets. This was a mistake, because I was ridiculed by Sid and Mick who took great pleasure in this. That time had arrived - the raffle draw. Peter shouted the numbers out and took perverse satisfaction in making me think I had won. 356 Pete shouted, Pat Richardson won! 398 he calls, Mick Turnidge wins, 366 was shouted out, Sue Kilburn collects a prize. Lower numbers, higher numbers are called out. But never my numbers. Then Mick wins again, then Sue wins again, and Mick pick up prize 3. Sue then won again but Sue being the kind and considerate person she is she got the Kylie Minogue Annual for me, I mean for Hayley. I had a really good talk with Rebbeca Groves - we discussed our favourite foods
Well a great day was had by all of us. Looking forward to see you all again soon.
