Hi TT, Conker and Truffle \o/ Nice to see you back on Goy! Glad you enjoyed Northamptonshire, there are some lovely villages around here :o))

A wonderful blog - I felt as if I was there with you in those marquees!

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments ..

The marquee produce exhibits were fascinating ..

.. and the fluffy Wire Fox Terrier toy is settling in well ;o)

Lovely blog Tt.Truffle and Conker look so beautifully turned out as always! Has their new friend got a name yet????
Oh, and you're not over feeding him are you???? he looks stuffed!!!

Nice to see you are getting out and about Terra, congratulations to Conker and Truffle for bringing home the rosettes, they look really handsome and very pleased with themselves, looks like a fun day was had by all........

Thanks Paul ..
still working on a name for the furry friend ...
Truffle doesn't want to share his Bonios with any new Fox Terriers ;o)

Hi Sue .. thank you ...
yes ... hoping to fit in a few more outings ..

Hello Kat ... thanks .. answering your question ...
This event is a Carnival, incorporating produce grown locally, dog show and parade.

What a wonderful day TT .. congratulations to the two top dogs Truffle and Conker will they be training their new friend to go out to shows with them ? :o))

Hi Amy... thanks ...

... the new friend is very good at 'sit,stay'
so he could have a career in obedience shows ;o)

Fun fun fun! Well done to all the winners, especially our 2 favourites :)
Loving the new addition to Team Terra!

Hi Angie ..
Thank you .. I've just introduced Team Terra's new recruit to the MacScarecrows !

I hope they don't lead him astray ;)

Too late ... he's already been coerced ..
Fran has asked for a winter blog featuring the MacScarecrows and the new recruit ... sure they'll all be up to mischief ;o)

Roaring with laughter!
The newest recruit to the MacScarecrows clan didn't take much convincing, I fear.
The 'sit, stay' may have something to do with the clan.
I'd send Conker & Truffle to sniff out for illegal 'stills in the garden! ;-)

Hi Mouldy ..
Thanks for the alert .. you are absolutely right ..
I daren't leave the MacScarecrows alone for more than a few minutes .. ;o)

You know we exiled them, right?
Formenting & fermenting, if memory serves me. Lol.

The Mc Scarecrows have been a bit scary while you were out. They thought they saw a CROW but they wern't quite sure. So they flung themselves into one of your flower beds to hide. They should have crept back out by the time you got back TT. No damage done. Nice veggies and cakes. I wouldn't mind being a cake judge at such a show....YUM YUM.

You obviously enjoyed your day out and Conker and Truffles are still in top form judging by the rosettes, well done.

looked like an excellent day out, with bonus rosettes, well done!

lol I had to read one pc twice: first time, i was sure the label on the dish said, "india rubber duck eggs" ?????

Hi Fran ... thanks ...
Lol. ... rubber duck eggs ... bouncy ones .. ;o)

Hello Stroller ...
yes the judging was very fair and great fun !

Thank you Dorjac ...
Next year I'll definitely recommend you as cake judge ..
... if those MacScarecrows don't get there ahead of you ;o)

Wow I live near Northampton . You must proud of your dogs. What was the Show Called . First Time I've heard of This .

Hi Lynda .. Thanks ..
... the show was at West Haddon ...
... very friendly people there !

Lovely blog, I really specially enjoyed looking at the produce entries. Sometimes its really hard to know why one gets a first in preference to another. Wonder if anybody guessed wrong about what you bought from the stall...Congratulations to the Team on the rosettes - but its no less than we would have expected after all!

Thanks for sharing, TT. Your blog was very interesting.

Thanks Stera ..
Everyone guessed the fluffy Wire Haired Fox Terrier !
I have him sitting next to me on the table here ..

Yes, interesting on which entries are placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd, whether in produce, dog shows or any other competition .. Lol.

Thank you Sixpence 48 ...
The day was very happy and full of fun. :o)

great blog.. what a lovely day out... :o)

Lovely to see all the produce ... and the boys of course! Well done! ... :o)
