Highlights of Today


Its not every day that I look up from my sewing machine to see a beautiful Jersey cow out on the Market Place!

This is Rosie and she's looking to be milked...

I'll show you how first...
Now its your turn...
Bring it on!...

I think I'm getting the hang of this!

Well, I think I've got a cup full.

Let's get you back to the future now Rosie, and your nice green field.

Cup and ball fun on the market cross.

All's quiet at the butchers shop...
But not for long!
The excitement of Victorian style sausage making!

Time for a breather...

When do I get one of those?!

A woman's work is never done you know...not in Victorian England!
Oh the distractions!

  2. Oh that looks like so much fun Niki, it must be very exciting to be a part of all the hubbub.
    The cow was sweet and yes she looks like she could do with a good milking!

  6. How wonderful to have ringside seats of this unique event on your doorstep.
    Are they going to leave Shepton looking like that when the cameras depart?

    Enjoy the action as it unfolds.

    Love

    I must say that your little shop is a jewel in
    the town! It was lovely to see it for real!
    I think Shepton Mallet has 'potential'!
