Agricultural and Pastoral shows. Rural New Zealand at its best and most concentrated. Candyfloss, ferris wheels, laughing clown sideshows, dog trials, shearing, woodchopping, horseriding, home enterprise, dust, sunburn and kids on sugar. Magic.
Got some local down me today and loved every moment from patting clydesdales, checking out some live milking, and world champion shearers and axemen competing while the sunshine had a cancer party on my nose. Was a great little nostalgia fix for me being a country kid who actually once entered the home enterprise and calf rearing competitions and who for 3 years in a row brang home a purchased baby animal of some description much to my parents dismay. If you are a city kid make sure you get to one in your lifetime - you wont regret it.

About Me
- Courtney
- A small beachside town, Australia
- I am an optimist and believe in the goodness of people. I am a bit of a "greenie" and try to pay the extra 50c for my eggs from happy free range chickens...but who isnt these days. I guess I am a peopleosopher: inquisitive and observant of the world I live in, the people in it and the way they interact. For a little more about me, keep reading. Cheerio. C.K.
