The Tab Visits: The Devon County Show
The Tab get friendly with farm animals at the Devon County Show
Last weekend The Tab were invited to visit the Devon County Show.
It was much more popular than anticipated, and cars were backed up for miles around Westpoint (so much so that we decided to get off our bus and walk two miles along the motorway instead of sitting in standstill traffic!)
Eventually we arrived to find a plethora of countryside pursuits. We spotted everything you might expect to find in rural Devon:
Stylin’ alpacas
A competition to find Devon’s best sausage
Small men on very big tractors
Killer guinea pigs
People who fancy rabbits
Slightly racist depictions of Olympic heroes
Giant Cornish Pasties
Really, really cute baby lambs!
Rastafarian Sheep
And acrobatic goats!
It was good to see Devon’s original industry thriving, and we had a fun day out mingling with the Devonian locals – Thanks Devon County Show!
