Show Day 1
So...yesterday was the start of the Stanthorpe Show 2017. We went in the afternoon after Mr Muffet stopped playing with his curds and whey.We were expecting it to be packed out as it was a holiday for the local area but it was very quiet and it was probably down to the heat. Everyone and everything appeared to be wilting.We caught up with our neighbours at the Wine Pavilion where there was free beer and wine tasting going on. Knowing I do not 'drink' Dave asked if I fancied a ginger beer. I tried it and smiled but didn't like it and it was definitely alcoholic.Will, of course, enjoys wine and beer, in moderation so I had to drive home. Just on the other side of the town we came across a policeman standing in the middle of the road and he waved us over. I pulled up."Had anything to drink Sir." He asked."Just a few sips of Ginger Beer at the Stanthorpe Show,"I said.He handed me the breathalyzer and I blew into it."And did you like it, the ginger beer?""No," I said "it was horrible and I gave it to him," I said, nodding at Will."Only my friend entered some Ginger beer he'd made into the show this year," said the Policeman." I liked it!" chipped in Will.I wondered if I might get detained for dropping a brick."Is it alright?" I asked nodding at the breathalyzer.He waved us on.
