This is the country folk celebrating their roots - from foxhounds to pig racing it was all here to be seen alongside some incredibly large farm equipment.

Of course there are the usual stalls flogging arts and craft items that although very cleverly done are of no interest to me. There <a href="http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/brocklesby-fair2jun.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-5060" src="http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/brocklesby-fair2jun-200x150.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="150" /></a>were some interesting animals from giant tortoises to Llamas (or were they Alpacas?). I think they're very cute but I might be influenced by the fact that Jane loved Alpacas and had hoped we would have enough room in the garden of our new home to have an Alpaca paddock. It was never going to happen, no matter how cute. She did love her 60th birthday present of walking with Llamas.
On Monday afternoon I drove over to see how the Hospice garden was doing. At the end of last year one of the small Yew balls had died and I was going to measure it up, remove it and buy a replacement. I need not have worried because the volunteer gardeners had already replaced it with a Box ball which seemed to be doing fine. It cannot be seen because of the Ox-eye daisies which are flourishing. The hospice have also added to the garden and the two seem to blend in quite well.
