Well weekend just past had been an
enjoyable one, sunshine and 17C. A nice change compared to during the week of
pouring rain and grey skies, I just think, it’s good for the plants to get the
water.
This year's event was a bit more special as it was also Celebrating the Queens Diamond Jubilee
Fortunately the weather was great, so the
grounds were not too muddy and saturated, but I stuck to flats anyway. Journey
to Windsor from Waterloo was an easy train ride, was definitely not in London
anymore, the place was so green, the air was cleaner and there was a great view
of Windsor Castle from the Showground, very lovely.
The food inside the Pony Club was actually
not too bad, a buffet of picnic foods like scotch eggs, sausages, salads,
skewers, though the bosses at Daks were not use to this type of pallet of food,
and eating from paper plates, will admit I was skeptical about the food as I
heard last time they only served bland cucumber sandwiches, (I even brought
some sushi for me & Wendy to have, but the food didn’t go to waste!)
The competitions within the show were
national so many clubs within the UK competed, some events quite interesting to
watch Dressage competitions and show jumping, was quite a nice day out and saw
a little tiny pony that was adorable!! <3 was interesting to see how there
horses were to perform, was pretty nice to see one of the Olympic contenders
taking part in the jumping time trials with no faults.
The Royal family usually attend this event, but I think they didn't make an appearance until 5pm where the singing performances kicked in, but that time we left as both of us were tired
Definitely a lovely day out for a Sunday,
definitely need to make effort with more day trips out of the M25 bubble
