Last year we did maybe two or three shows, Coco's first show was at the Royal Norfolk Show in July last year and it was a scorcher of a day. We did quite well there with a first for Mr Bumble and a Third for Scarlett. Now that Coco is a bit older we will be doing more shows this year, fuel prices allowing of course.
Mr Bumble moved really well today for Nanny Southwellski and he looked a picture. The judge seemed to prefer leggier dogs and the terrier group was won by an Irish Terrier, in fact in both Scarlett and Bumble's classes the littlies came in the last positions. Scarlett looked lovely like she always does, but judges generally don't seem to like her very much. Never mind we love her and are very proud of her.

| An Orpington Cockerel |
I thought Brutus was a big lad but compared to some of the cockerels there today, like the Orpington (Left) he is a budgie!
We were surprised at how many entries there were in the show, it was packed with cages. The website address for the club is www.norfolkpoultryclub.org.uk.
Our girls, with only enough feathers to make one decent hen between the lot of them, would have looked out of place there today but they were happily scratching about in the paddock when we got back and they laid two eggs today which seems to be the average for them at the moment so we don't care what they look like as long as they are happy.
We took some photos of Coco sitting in the apple tree in our garden it was meant to have been taken on her birthday but we just ran out of time and never got round to it but we will make sure we take it on the right day in future.
Just to put your mind at rest I was behind the tree with a handful of wooly trousers while Nanny Southwellski took the photo.
