Twin Flip

Sydney's annual Royal Easter Show starts today and will run for the next 10 days. We're planning to go with Sooz's Mum on Easter Monday. This is one of the days they will have the Grand Parade with the animals. There are 12,000 of them at the Show this year and sometimes it seems like they only have the naughtiest in the Parade. It's fun to watch the bulls having their fringes coiffed for showing too.

Unfortunately George the sheep, 21, and billed as the oldest in Australia and who is celebrating his birthday today at Warren NSW, isn't going to the show!
But the show's about more than animals. There's arts, crafts, the agricultural exhibits, fresh produce, the Tiny Teddy mobile biscuit oven, and commercial exhibitors. And sideshow alley and the rides. There are four new ones this year including the Twin Flip, which is supposed to be the scariest! What amazing jobs they must be - to think up rides, design and test-drive them.

And let's not forget the other exciting show feature ... showbags.
I'm not sure what showbags we'll be aiming for this year but I'm fairly confident that they won't include the fake buttocks with G-string. I don't know how I could ever have thought that showbags were not value for money!
The big question about showbags this time: Are there any good liquorice ones?" And hopefully there will be - because it's a long time between shows!
