One of our hens - a French Wheaton named "colour" The Devon County Show is held once a year over three days around the third week in May. The show field at Westpoint is a massive arena and show ground and the organisers have the traffic management and parking arrangements well under control. Its always a fab day out with so much to see and do from all the rural crafts, agricultural array of stalls, showing of many different animals, horses and ponies, rabbits and guinea pigs, dogs, poutlry of many sorts and sheep and cattle. The show field also hosts a main arena with many displays and show jumping, this year we were treated to the Shetland Grand National racing - what a treat! My husband and I go every year on the Thursday which we fondly name "farmers" day. We always bring home lots of local produce which is available on sale including beers and ales, local cyders, sausages and cheeses and chutney - can't wait to go again next year! This week the weather has been a little changeable again but our most recent guests still managed to walk to the local pub, the Tally Ho for a meal despite the rain.
