A View From Inside The Rosette Room.


 More rosettes pinned up with the sashes for our prize winning ๐Ÿ– ๐Ÿท.  

The latest rosettes were awarded at Tullamore Agricultural Show a couple of weeks or so.

Joke.  There was a fire at a sleeping football giants stadium.

A rather concerned Chairman asked the fire chief if they had got to the cup room yet.

The fire chief replied:

"No we haven't managed to get into the canteen yet?"

No it wasn't MUFC.

I have been grafting hard all week and haven't had time to blog.  I'm trying to get a few extra quid/ Euros together for my forthcoming Prog Rock festival roughing it trip.

Storm Amy is knocking about our shores tomorrow night.  Batten down the hatches and hopefully it won't visit us.

  3. Well done on the win, we are only expecting a few showers way down here in the south, I've been planting out winter pansies and violas today it's warm and sunny.

  4. Up The Pigs!... as sarky football supporters might say about Man United. Actually, I think that Ruben Amorim might be better at raising prize pigs than managing a squad of talented but disaffected young footballers. Is Storm Amy a superheroine? Perhaps she can help with the mucking out and the weaning.

  5. Hi Marlene. It's horribly wet and windy here today. Last weeks weather was so nice and kind.

  6. He looks like he's out of his depth at the moment YP. I would like to see Ole and Michael Carrick back in charge. Stormy Amy looks like she's going to be moody for the next few days.

  7. I hope Amy is not too badly behaved for you. No rain here yet but looks like she may pay us a visit later.

  8. Thanks JayCee. It's been wet and wild here all afternoon. A lot of folk said we would pay for the great spring and summer weather.

  9. The pigs must adore the decorating - a bit of colour about the place. Congrats to them.

    1. Thanks TM. We gave them a big round of straw the other day. They had flattened it and spread it out in ten minutes flat.
