Went to the Royal Highland Show at Ingliston outside Edinburgh yesterday and had a wonderful day. It rained all the way there and we were a bit worried that it would be a day of dashing from one tent to another to try to keep dry. But actually it stayed dry for most of the day, although conditions underfoot were a bit muddy! We had worn appropriate footware, so we were ok.
Couldn't resist taking this photo on the way in - must have really intelligent sheep to be able to read this notice! As for Pink - was she there, and did she really need her own sign?!

Hubby wandered off to see tractors and such like while BF and I immediately headed for the craft and food areas (well, we're townies after all)! Some of the jewellery on display was amazing, but it was a bit crowded to take photos. Was quite impressed by the country girls in their tweeds and riding boots, very fashionable indeed! There were lots of trade areas - even a Cath Kidston area, very pretty.
The food court was great as there were lots of free samples to be had - loved some of the cheeses and (of course) the fudge and sweet things! Bought a bottle of raspberry gin - incredibly delicious, and my friend bought a bottle of toffee vodka - amazing taste. So I foresee a few good evenings spent making sure these products taste as good at home as they did at the RHS!
Did manage a look at the farm machinery and had a good laugh trying to work out what on earth they could possibley be used for!
A great (but muddy) day out!
Love, Liz

Sounds like a perfect day to me Liz. I love the "Michelin Man" and now I want to try toffee vodka.
I'm pleased that you had a 'grend day out' Liz - looks like fun, and the rain stayed away for you..I have to say it's starting to loose it's allure here :o(

Liz..couldn't imagine the need to have your own sign! At least it was a gorgeous color and not bland brown? Just love the sweet CK spot and made a purchase online today. Ah a good tractor...glad the men like them! Smiles...Renee
That man made out of the tyres is funny!
I feel so jealous! Hehe. The CK area looks so pretty. I went to the Highland Show two years ago with my Dad and had the best time! Being a country girl I actually loved all the massive farm machinery (there was a pink tractor!!), looking at the cows and I ate way too much Mackie's ice-cream!
Glad you had a great day out, the bottles of plonk sound delish!, loved the CK stall

Cute little tire person and it took me a few brain cells to figure out what Pink was. She is not my cup of tea.
What a wonderful day out, craft and food....what more could a girl want.
Have a fab weekend,
Anne xx
Hello Liz
Wierd sign....wonder what they refer to when they indicate PINK????
I know someone who looks like that Michelin man... I wonder if he was the model!!! Must show him this!
Ahhh thta stall would draw me like a magnet
Keep well

Hmm, when you think about it, it does look like the tractor is sporting a rather large pair of forceps. Hopefully more useful in feeding out hay than delivering calves.
It looks like a fun day and some great shopping.
