This weekend 21-22 June saw the return of The Middlesex Show to its original home of Hillingdon Showground.
On Sunday 22 June, as the sun beat down, crowds were treated to ferret racing, lawn mower racing and sheep dog herding.
Arts and crafts played a prominent role at the Show with wood carved sculptures and hand made jewellery for sale. Home-made jams, marmalades and sweets could also be purchased.
It's great that the Middlesex Show has returned over the last couple of years after a period of enforced hibernation. In my view, it could be improved with a greater representation of local organisations, businesses, crafts and charities. Most people I spoke to seemed to be from everywhere else in the UK apart from Middlesex! However, I wouldn't want to be too critical as the main thing is that the show has a future. The organisers seem to be doing a pretty good job on the whole.
