A traditional side-show does its thing
A New Bedroom, and The Cambridge County Show, Parker's Piece, Cambridge and Brome - 14th June 2008
It's Saturday in Cambridge, and as we wander in to town we spot that there seems to be some sort of agricultural show occuring on Parker's Piece. It turns out to be the Cambridge County Show, and it whiles away a few hours as we look at mediaeval sword fights, pigs and some steam engines. Later, it's time to build a new bedroom - replacing one that was taken out a few years before - on account of the imminent sprognation. Finally, The BBs are playing a gig at New Buckenham, where an old Chaise Longue is hauled onto the stage for a giggle.

The scene on Parker's Piece
A couple of saddle-back pigs
A cute brown piggy looks up
A crowded Parker's Piece
A hairy guitarist and flautist play folk music
There's some sort of Mediaeval thing going on
A knight waits for action
A knight of the occasional table
Maid Marion on microphone
Ready to fight
A swordfight in progress
A knight is down
The fight is joined
A mini traction engine ferries some kids around
Rides on a steam engine
An even smaller engine pootles about
Another Ransomes, Sims and Jefferies
The old family firm (well, maybe)
A Ransomes traction engine
A bloke and his engine
A Dutch pipe organ
A barn owl
A kestrel
A tufted owl taken on a 23-year-old Vivitar lens
Some sort of beardy owl
Another owl
The owl handler shows off his birds
There's a sheep demonstration
A Suffolk landing
At the top of the stairs
The floorboards are replaced
Extending the floor area at the top of the stairs
A new third bedroom is built
Studwork as seen from inside the new room
More 2x4' studs
Sophie lounges about on an up-ended sofa
The nice new floor
Insulation goes in and boards go on
There's a chaise longue on stage at New Buckenham
A sagging bench
The band walks around New Buckenham
