Exploring :: More Sunshine for Sioe Nefyn

Bora Da! 😀

After our lovely day out on Saturday we had a good few more days of sunshine forecast. We spent Sunday hanging around the lodge … we even put the cushions out on the decking furniture and had a sit outside 😜

Monday was the first of the three May Bank Holidays and we decided to head to Sioe Nefyn … or Nefyn show. It was literally just up the road and we were looking forward to having a good mooch round and maybe some lunch if something took our fancy.

We went mid morning and got parked no problem and joined the queue of people waiting to get in with this as our view …

Once inside there was a real buzz with all sorts going on. We decided to head left and just generally work our way round the field to see what was going on. 

First there were sheep … of all kinds of breed …

Then there was this handsome fellow …

… these real beauties …

… and this cheeky coo …

There were stalls selling all kinds of stuff …

… plenty of tractors …

… and farm machinery …

There was a small fairground with the usual hook a duck to win a prize …

… and a scary looking big wheel …

There were plenty of classic cars …

… and lots going on in the horse riding arena …

Then there were trade stands and craft stalls, where we were very tempted by the art on the Swaledale wool stall, owned funnily enough by a lady who was born in Tamworth … 

By now we were more than ready for lunch and opted for something a little different, which gave us chance for a very welcome sit down …

Once we’d eaten we were ready to call it a day … though it would be very easy to while away the day watching all the activity. 

Once back in the car park things looked very different to how they were when we arrived … with a long queue of people waiting to get in snaking around the car park, which was absolutely packed and the roads all around pretty much gridlocked … we’d definitely made the right choice to come early. 

Now … where did we park the car?
