I’m not one to complain….

….but it came as quite a shock that the local annual show comprises competitions for horses, stock, crop and dogs, but no baking!! What has happened to scones, tablet, jams and other elements of your five a day? I retired to the beer tent to reflect on the state of the world.

We met with maw, Owen and my sis and it was lovely to see them. When the time came to depart we received a lift to Tempest Brewery at Tweedbank. I left the brewery feeling better about things in general but the crushing disappointment of a sconeless annual show will hit hard when I sober-up tomorrow.
