It was nice to make a return to the agricultural show circuit recently. Covid-related stoppages and the fact that I'm not staff on a newspaper anymore meant that it had been over two years since my last foray into the world of cattle parading, flower judging and vintage tractor gathering, to name just three of the attractions that make up these classic British institutions. I have included a few images from the shows at Osmotherley and Sedgefield, which were both very warm days especially for the livestock.
