The Ploughing Festival

Yesterday Coni and I were bad parents and kept Kye off of school to go to The Ploughing Festival.


Having made it in record breaking time, due to the complete lack of traffic on the roads, we parked and headed off in the direction of the show, where we arrived some 20 minutes later (I kid you not).




After spending several hours looking at tractors and cows - nothing new there as we live on a COW FARM, we headed home complete with €87 worth of toy tractor and trailer (yep I did say €87), homemade cake, a book on self-build log cabins, very hungry bellys (no vegetarian options except chips) and very, very sore feet.


Not that it wasn't a good day, more a case of it not being set out very well. We didn't even see any ploughing because it was just too far to go with little people. At least the sun was shining and we managed to top up on some much needed vitamin D.



Arriving home we were all so exhausted that we didn't manage to do much, favouring an easy night and barely managing to keep my eyes open to watch Ross Kemp in Kenya.


Today I have to try and finish my second layout for Scrapaholix tomorrow (not much to do) and get some baking done. If I manage to get all of that done, plus the usual it might be time to address the ever growing pile of ironing because it's not going to do itself.
