Corofin Show

Yesterday was the North Clare Agricultural Show at Corofin and as the rain stayed off for the whole day we cycled down to join in the fun. Spent nearly an hour watching the cattle being judged and swapping comments with a neighbour (apparently he couldn’t understand a word I was saying?)
Also watched the horse and pony judging and then moved on to the show jumping – meant to go back to see the donkey judging but naturally the programme was running a bit behind time and the pub beckoned. We also stopped in the village hall to see the results of the vegetable and baking contests – all the edible products were protected behind a wire fence for some reason!
On the cycle home, Linda made it up the big hill without stopping and didn’t even need the oxygen cylinder when we got home – although she did insist on a glass of fizz to celebrate!
