The Best Egg at the Royal Norfolk Show 🎪

Suddenly, the life around me makes a lot more sense.

I’ve finally make it to the Royal Norfolk Show 😄

Suddenly, the life around me makes a lot more sense.

For one thing, the Norfolk Showground. I’ve been here for a wrestling match and/but I’ve only experienced it at night, as a large tin shed that shelters several thousand fans. It turns out that building is a postage stamp on the manilla envelope-sized show ground, which is designed for the precise purpose of er, showing livestock, agriculture and produce equipment and everything even vaguely tangental. There are acres of the place, and I won’t make it around even a fraction of it in the time I’m here.

We park on the fairway of a local golf course, which may very well make more from 1 week of being a parking lot, than it does as a golf course.

The public is invited for two days, a Wednesday and a Thursday.

But it’s earlier in the week when a lot of the work gets done. The judging, the bidding, the buying. My sheep dealer has been here since Sunday. I can’t find him among the winner…
