Easter Show

Easter show is on and if you have the stamina, it really is great for all the family. We went from planting a flower to showbags to exhibitions, chicks hatching, petting farm and Erth petting zoo.

Its not cheap, but there is lots to do that doesn't cost money, and surprisingly we found some good food, reasonably priced amongst the flower exhibitions.
