THE SUTTON BONINGTON SHOW.

On the first Sunday of every September, Sutton Bonington plays host to the annual horticultural show, and what a true delight it is... People in their hundreds gather in the village for some food, entertainment and spending. Although many of the stalls are naff and old fashioned, on the odd occasion you can pick up a real bargain. 

The best thing about the show is how much effort is put in to it. Most of the stalls feature home-made goods for example; candle holders or salt dough room accessories. This year I even saw a man creating exceedingly realistic looking flowers out of vegetables. The food itself is simply delicious. This year I managed to pick up the most wonderful home-made white chocolate fudge, yum. 

Another feature of the show is its ability to challenge the residents to grow all kinds of fruit, vegetables and flowers. This really exhibits how rural and antiquated the village I grew up in really is, however people love it, and come back every single year!

Here are some photographs I took there...

Animal competitions.

Ferrets!!

Chicks hatching.

Lassie lookalike.

Etc...

It's an awful thought that by the time another show comes around I will have graduated University.
