rainy saturday at the show...

Today my Mum and I had a lovely girly day together - at the Sydney Royal Easter Show! Yes, I am a total nerd and I LOVE the show! Anyone who loves animals of all descriptions (ahem, me!) can go nuts admiring the glossy horses, cuddly kittehs, cute puppies, weeny piggies... I could go on. Not to mention the arts and crafts, local produce displays, food delicacies - I'll stop now, promise!

Anyway, here are some happy snaps from our day!



We pigged out on the world's best scones at the Country Women's Association cafe


And ooohed and aaahed over the gorgeous iced cake creations



ZOMG a Jasper! I cannot get enough of the kitties at the Show!



I lovelovelove the showjumping! Despite the teeming rain, 'twas amazing as always



We treated ourselves to lunch at Jaimson's restaurant...



We both ordered the same thing - a delish gnocci with baby zucchini, broad beans, zucchini flowers, almonds, parmesan and olive oil



And the most amaaaaazing strawberry trifle!



We looked at pretty flowers...


And the regional displays - love these!



Bertie Beetle showbag for V - kind of a little tradition for us

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend!

    What a fabulous day! That looks like a great way to spend a day at the show - not a dagwood dog or ride in sight! And the Bertie Beetle is my favourite of all the showbags!

    That kitty is adorable! I haven't been to the show in so many years. We used to go there as a school trip many moons ago - I went to an agricultural high school, so we had to go and do reports on the plants etc. We used to always run off to grab a showbag and smuggle it back in our school bags.

    Looks like a great day. I don't think there's anything the CWA ladies can't cook!

    I love our Royal Show too, and always make a point of visiting the cats, but I can't help but feel a bit conflicted about it. I feel sorry for them being trapped in a noisy room in a tiny cage with children and adults (who should know better) poking their fingers through the cage at them all day. It must be quite stressful for them.

    On the other hand, I don't feel at all conflicted about enjoying yummy CWA produce!
