Crufts- Day 1

Whew! What a day. We got up at 6am, breakfast at 7pm-"the Full English breakfast", then down the road to the bus stop. The show site is MASSIVE (and the signage is not always obvious) so we walked and walked and walked... They anticipated 80,000 visitors today alone! We watched agility, obedience, gun-dog competition, conformation for Labs and wandered 5 huge halls filled with exhibitors/ vendors and still didn't see it all. Tomorrow the corgis are in the ring at 9am so our morning is planned. There are so many dogs that each day has it's own separate catalog. I see some new event every time I watch agility lately. We were so tired at the end of the day that we bought prepackaged sandwiches on our way out to have for dinner rather than try to do anymore shopping for groceries or walk to a restaurant. We're not in shape for this much fun.... sheesh. The wifi here so sloooooooow that I can't upload any movies! Today I'll shoot stills instead- sigh.....

They've done a great job of presenting the castle fully furnished and decorated as it would have been "in the day"- from dungeon to state rooms. Even the smallest details- like the wood carvings on the walls was very beautiful. The first sight of the castle is pretty impressive- you walk around a corner of shrubbery and there it is- massive! It sits on the River Avon- but no moat is in evidence. I don't know if it ever had one. It doesn't appear like it now. Throughout the displays they dressed very realistic looking models in the clothes/ armor/ or tools of the period. It oftened seems like their eyes were looking at you. With the complex...
