Sheep shearing competitions

Today we went to the local A & P (agriculture and produce) show. There were lots of sheep shearing competitions (overall won by someone whose name, believe it or not, was Shaun!). I had a lovely time in the front row chatting to a young man who asked me if l was as an English 'bird' l wanted to say l was a kiwi granny but refrained and took it as a compliment.

We hung around waiting to see the Wellie throwing competition but it was getting late and M seemed a tad mutinous after watching all the sheep shearing. Also it seemed to me that the wellie throwers were all in the bar getting raucous and l thought it may not be a true and accurate depiction of the glorious art!
