Summer has (suddenly) arrived here in Shropshire, and that\u2019s great news for the organisers of the County Show. We can walk to the showground, and we met Sarah on the way. There’s lots to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Daredevils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A band, called Second Wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lots of food stalls, we enjoyed a sausage roll for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And of course, lots of livestock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Vintage cars and traction engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Morris dancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And everyone\u2019s favourite, the Shrewsbury Rock Choir of which Sarah is a member. These guys and girls are so good that when they open their set with Guns ‘N Roses ‘Sweet Child o’ Mine’, it literally gives me goosebumps. They had a good turnout today – we reckoned around 200 of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
