2012 Lambeth Country show - 15 and 16 September, Brockwell Park

[girasol]

not sure actually! They all seemed to have won something, got confused

 

[girasol]

the competition is named 'vegetable character competition' according to this: http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/Country-Show/Zones/Flowerzone.htm

That would explain why a pinneaple owl wouldn't win

The lemon one should, if we were to stick to the rules, be out too. //pedant

Nipsla tells me the LibDem people had cardboard cutouts of Clegg and Cameron for people to throw stuff at. Very good but they should do something about ousting the fucker and breaking up the coalition if they hate him so much.

I thought Harvest Cocker won? I've never managed to see the veg characters. I don't even know where that tent is

 

[gaijingirl]

thank you very much to the urbanite who found my toddler after she did a runner and was found milking a cow.

Head for the marquee which is just down the sloping lawn from Brockwell Hall (the building with the cafe in it)

Next year ...

Next year ...

It's always in that spot.

It used to be a children's competition, but there were so many entries which obviously had enthusiastic adult "assistance" that for the last few years there have been two separate competitions:

Section E Floral art exhibits
Open plan tables, no alcoves will be provided, the height is unlimited unless
otherwise stated. Exhibitors will be allowed to use accessories, drapes, etc.
Flowers and plant materials must predominate but the exhibitor does not need
to have grown them. Flowers must be arranged at the show without assistance.
Natural plant materials may be used. Entries after 13 September 2012 cannot
be accepted. Entries are arranged on the day.
Theme: Harvest Festival
...
Class 69 A vegetable figure

Section F Children’s exhibits
Class 70 Vegetable animal

thank you very much to the urbanite who found my toddler after she did a runner and was found milking a cow.

I saw her staring intently at that cow on Saturday when I bumped into gaijinclan (sans gaijingirl) yesterday. It must have left an impression on her!

Harvest Cocker was the best of the veg, but he had close completion. It was a good year for pushy parents.
I especially admired the pulp.

The Nutkins tableau was also masterful though.
The attention to detail was magnificent.

And I met Steph finally!

For people who drank cider, how are your stomachs? Myself and husband have not been feeling right, but it could also have been the burger & chips we had. But my son had that and he's fine.

she went back several times - last time independently. Maybe she is going to be milkmaid?

I had chucklehead and stowford - my tummy is fine but a couple of us have woken with stinky colds.

If I over do it on cider full stop I get a dodgy tum. No chance of that for me today with the chucklehead running out

Can anyone confirm if members of Nation of Islam, were handing out newspapers/leaflets with 'white trash' printed on them?

I didnt notice any such thing. Where have you heard that?

Had a great time both days at my first ever LCS. Was nice to see people and harass animals in the vauxhall city farm bit. Couldnt get anywhere near the veg models, it was always three deep at the table.

Will definitely go again next year

Thanks. Somebody who went said so and said they told a policemen, who said they'd 'Ave a word' but didn't.

Glad you enjoyed it. We missed it this year. It's usually a tradition to attend, but I had no spare cash come the end of school holidays

So did I!

Not bad considering, but I did have to put myself to bed at about 6pm

I joined an almighty queue, waited for 20 mins and got the last 2 half-pints at the show. Sorry 'bout that...

 

[porno thieving gypsy]

Anthony B was amazing.

The service at the (main?) Chucklehead stall was excellent all day on the Saturday.

Fine, but I 've only had a glassful so far, and that was from the bottles carried home, not from any served there.

TBh the stowford and then Westons was fine, it was all the double spirits consumed at various pubs afterwards that did it for me

Nice to hang out yesterday up the hill with peeps

Didn't realise you had passed by the capoeira workshop, just spotted myself on one of the photos

thank you very much to the urbanite who found my toddler after she did a runner and was found milking a cow.

Was relieved to see her being brought back to you. Sorry we didn't stay to chat but we were so ready for home and felt secure that crisis had been averted.
