We've just returned from Sydney where we went to the Royal Easter Show. It is a bit of an institution, having started in 1823 to "bring country life to city folk". One of my favourite photos of my Dad was taken at the Easter Show when he was about 7 years old - with his Dad and sister and holding a Week-bix showbag.
We had a lovely day at the show with the Watts family. We spent about $500 - which I'm told is the average spend for a family. I thought we were relatively restrained as well!! I liked seeing the animals, which are very well tended by their owners, and I enjoyed deciding which showbags I'd buy (with my $50 limit!). The most unexpected pleasure was watching the Polo game. I'd never seen Polo being played and just assumed that I'd hate it (on account of it being a snobby game for the very wealthy - and on horses!). However, it was very interesting and I was impressed with the skills on display.
Will we go again? Maybe......
