Show time again!

It's that time of year again when I start to do a little baking and try to decide which of my many photos I like best to put in the Marlborough show. I had a wonderful helper as you can see, who was my chief taste tester, alas we did not win any prize for our prune cake however it did make the most money at the auction but I'm not sure if it counts when it was my darling husband that bought it. I got a couple of places for my photos though, so I was pleased with that.  

In the lead up to the show, there were calves to be branded and while we were't much help, G-man was amused for a while. 

He desperately wanted to help!  

G-man has been chasing this guy around my garden for some time and I managed to get a couple of photos. I think he's quite pretty. 

If it's not half obvious by now, I'm pretty in love with this little guy! 

The Marlborough Show this year was another cracker and it always makes for a lovely weekend. I was amazed at how many stalls there were this year and we seemed to have a lot of people.

Lou and Justin doing a bit of Stewarding. 

Coolee Snr, but I'm not too sure who he was leading here. 

They look like they are playing cross words! 

My gorgeous girl Jamie!! 

Bangers doing a bit of back yard work!

Had to test out my new lens, this is Steph Olive, doing a few good moves!  

These photos crack me up!! "I'm not looking, I'm not looking".

Love this one of Steph. 

G-man found his new Xmas present!! Hint, hint!!! Bit out of my price range and I figured that he will be big enough for the real thing before I know it. He walked up to it about 5 times and jumped in. One time he even hit the pedal, I nearly had a fit and grabbed him out as he was taking off!

I think Aunty Jamie and I had a bit of a win with this truck though, he seems to love it!

Ready for home after a long weekend! 

Not sure where his mechanical ability comes from but it isn't his parents! 

Love these pair of cool dudes! 

I got some lovely photos down the creek the other day but this is the only one I will share here. 

Back home we did a little more baking. Justin and my 4th wedding anniversary and neither of us had bought the other anything, so I thought I would bake J his favourite cake..... but as I got to the end of the recipe, and had most of the ingredients in, I realised; I had no carrots!! Oh well, it was a good excuse to go and have a cup of tea and a catch up with my neighbour and get some! Thank you Bonni! Needless to say I have a very large grocery order this time as our fridge is bare! We are having poached eggs for dinner, that is how sad we are. 

Had any outings lately? Have you noticed this change in the weather? Do you have generous neighbours that help out?
