These pictures speak for themselves. We had a really fantastic day out at the annual Southwell Ploughing Match and Show, on the Oxton Estate, today. It was wonderful just to be able to stroll down the village and not worry about parking at all. The 'Digger Dancing' was something completely new - we had never seen anything like it before and it was certainly great fun. Must take a lot of practice! The ploughing was masterful and it was interesting to see how it's developed over the past two centuries. There were some impressive cattle and sheep (their owners looked quite presentable too!) A huge thank you to all the organisers for a memorable early autumn day out. And, of course, to all the animals and perfomers as well.
