Lambeth Country Show 16-17 July 2011

I went both on Saturday and Sunday, and yesterday it felt a lot busier and more buzzing despite the rain.

I saw a pretty good bird display that included this fellow




though the most impressive one was the small falcon that followed it. Cool as fuck.
 
I briefly saw Mrs M, when the BIG rain came down, I sought shelter in the complimentary therapy tent (it had been fairly empty before the rain :D)

Mrs M was heading for the tent, then veered away - I suspect Chucklehead may have caused her veer :D

(And they dont use excuse of poor attendance due to rain/ olympics in 2012/ general government cut backs to cancel it - although I think there would be a bit of an outcry if cancellation was proposed)
 
I made it both days but Saturday timed my visit with the 3 hours of dryness, which was awesome. Sunday timed our visit so it started with a downpour so were a bit like rats throughout. Also my little one went mental when we took him to the music, far too over excited so on Sunday I had to leave just as Jonny Clarke started singing African Roots.

On Sunday the mayor tried to do some baby cuddling with my son. He was fine with her attention until she tried to pick him up as he hates being picked up. Her baby hugging moment ended up in wailing toddler screams:D
 
Blimey, wasn't Luciano popular? Despite the weather, that was about the busiest and best tempered I've seen the music stage there. Good choices for Sunday

There seems to be a rumour going around Lambeth that there won't be one next year, but I can find no truth in this despite looking. They'd be mad to. Best PR possible for Lambeth (and London) and the event of the year.
 
Loads of photos here!

every year I think I got round to see everything - then I see your photos and realise I missed loads.... I just love love love the Country Show.
 
They were all 50p slices.. we had several. I think Rubytoogood knows her too. Apparently the recipe is available online - they're fine about sharing it. Lovely tart - it was much enjoyed by all of us!
 
We wanted to buy a whole tart but they weren't selling them - but we took their card as they do them to order. I think they sell them at that farmer's market in Dulwich College. We're unlikely to go out of our way to buy one, but should we come across them selling whole tarts, I could see us buying one!
 
I don't suppose anyone took a photo of the Windsor/Middleton nuptials recreated in vegetable form did they?

I did, but the film's still being developed etc. Might have an uploadable image or several by the weekend.
