I wouldn't call today a scorcher, more a hot and humid one and 10
hours at the Royal Norfolk Show took some stamina. But it was a good
day.
The main reason for going was to take part this year in a main ring parade celebrating the coming Olympic games and the part played by our village of Hethersett. Hethersett organised more Olympic themed events over the past three years per head of population than any other village, town or city in the United Kingdom.
So over the two days of the Norfolk Show over 350 schollchildren from Hethersett will have taken part in a celebration display/pageant in the main ring, resplendent with flags and sashes. Getting all those youngsters together was no easy matter and a tribute to the schools involved. So it was an enjoyable one and a half hours.
I have a love-hate relationship with the Norfolk Show. Country fairs etc are not my idea of a great day out and I spent numerous years working at the show when I was with the police. So it's a few years since I last went. I must say going and not having to work is much more enjoyable and many thanks to the lovely people at the Norwich Schools stand for giving us so many refreshments and looking after the school's old boys so well.
