That is such a shame after all the work which has gone in to it. They were saying on BBC breakfast this morning that it would still be going ahead whatever.

They were towing the horseboxes in this morn. The car parks were littered with abandoned cars. Today was the first time ever that I have got straight out of the car park, as the cars were having to wait for a pull but my luxury, 1986, ex MOD with all the lack of bells and whistles, just gots itself into gear and trundled out through the nearest exit.
A heavy downpour this aft had water sluicing down the hills, about 4 inches deep in places. What annoyed me was that they anounced in the main arena that while the equine was to stop the rest would continue nearly an hour after the time of the email sent to me saying the show was off. There were at least 3 trade stands I wanted to go back to in order to purchase stuff. If the anouncement had been made when the decision was taken I would have spent my pennies. As it is they had shut up shop when I went to get last minute purchases after the main ring stopped running. I got to know the show was not continuing as I caught a steward telling a marquee of trade exhibitors.
As I say pisked off.

Don't they get upset about little things. ;D Mine's out in the garden. He's just got the lawnmower out and it's like the end of the world because "it's going to rain." It's not raining at the moment, so I pointed out that if he got a move on he could get the front lawn done before it actually does rain. And even if it does rain, I can put the donkeys on to keep the grass under control until it dries up again ;D (Always gets him going, that does
