Middleton Country Fair

Took time today to attend the Middleton Country Fair.

Middleton is a small village further down the Channel Highway.   I have driven through it a number of times and to be honest,   if you blink you would miss it.     It is delightful,  perched on the edge of the channel,  water views and access in most directions.    Today there was no missing it,   Cars parked on both sides of the highway,  a shuttle bus running from one of the more distant car parks.

The Tasmanian Fire service were  on the gate,  fund raising  with hot food sales.   I was surprised at the age of one of the fire service vehicles,   It reminded me of  one of the landcruisers I used to own except it was in great condition and hadn't been ruined by putting a V8 in it!

Great Country Fair.   I had a good time looking at the animals,   seeing the sheep shorn.

  Kids had a ride on a pony.  The woman asked Summer which pony she wanted to ride.  The big one or small one?    Summer replied "I want to ride the Big one".  (Youngest of three,  bold as brass)
Bought a number of raffle tickets,   great range of prizes including fire wood,   chainsaws,  mowers,  dinner for two at the Peppemint Bay resturant.    I am still waiting on a call.   Some fire wood would handy.

Although it is only Feb 2nd,  a number of our neighbours have had their woodstoves going.   It does cool down in the evenings and mornings are cool but it is delightful mid 20's during the day.   Might have to think about getting some wood soon.
