Anyway, WB Xanadu

Thanks!

I thought the wet soggy flooded and eventually totally submerged Royal Show would start a thread in this forum! Apparently not so.

Iwent to the first Royal Show-still have the programme-

Then, the only real hard road was up to the Royal Pavilion.

It rained! and rained!
I was trying to push a baby in a pushchair--we carried it. The other 2 children thought it great fun ,especially as they were covered in mud up to their knees(and weren't being told off.)
I cant remember much about it ,but I know we enjoyed the day even though the weather was bad. It had something very special about it, very Royal, an atmosphere which it seemed to lose as it got more sophisticated in the later years.

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself regardless. I did. I wrote two reports on it, the 500 word report that I had a press pass to write, and the Unofficial 4500 report that I've sent to various places on the internet and that has people laughing.

I saw something on the news about the showground being for sale, but didn't see the outcome. Anyone know, please?
