The Show season in Northumberland starts at the end of May with the Northumberland County Show I always enjoy shows, it’s when farmers get a chance to show what they have achieved after months of hard work in the cold and mud. the tempo of the countryside moves to a slower pace and there is an air of enjoyment whilst crops and animals grow with the minimum amount of help. It is a marvellous but brief respite before the onset of hay time and harvest. It is also an opportunity to find small producers of local delicacies.
The title of this post “Racing Pigs and Giant Marrows” is infact the title of a very entertaining book by Harry Pearson and well worth a read to get you into the “show season” spirit.
