Why do they shut?
We used to go to a wholesale show in end of August to buy and sell but never noticed any closing anywhere.
It's only at Great Yorkshire Show time it closers.
It's built on land once part of the show ground parking with the amount of footfall using the show ground access point at the bottom of the store car park. Plus the show traffic both using the main road and the side road up to one of the parking areas and another access point. it's pretty impractical to open. As it's at one end of the show ground it effectively becomes landlocked at show time.
The Yorkshire Agricultural Society owned caravan site opposite the show ground also effectively closers too becoming exhibitors only.
Ok today so i went out to the local park for a slow walk.Then a breakfast at my fave cafe.Feeling ok,so lads meeting tomorrow.No booze, pills are so strong they actually say,could drop off in to a deep sleep.I have never seen that before.So another week or so before a tipple.

Ended up spending the afternoon lumberjilling instead. Some of the downed bullace branches were much bigger than anticipated, necessitating the use of the loppers and chainsaw. This stuff has to be dealt with as I can't cut the grass in that part of the garden until it's cleared up. If I leave it any longer, I won't be able to see it!
I've made some really good inroads into that, and stacked the resulting logs, along with some mulberry that also needed cutting up in the log store for green wood. There's also one stack of small wood that's been put aside to be cut up and stuffed in the green wheelie bin, and another stack that is going to be turned into kindling as it's nice and dry.
Now sat down with a nice and a biskit.

That was the last single they released, IIRC.
I don't have any particular favourites tbh. Although one of my all-time favourite songs is "Man" - written and sung by Agnetha after she went solo again.

I just checked the weather over in Normal. It looks like good eclipse weather. They may be looking at the sky, not their screens.

It must be a day for bullace. I pruned a couple of ours, and lopped off 3 big dead branches from the old greengage, which was complicated by the fact that one of them was overhanging the greenhouse. I'm not silly enough to use a chainsaw up a tree, so I took a bow saw up and did it by hand, then chopped up the bigger stuff on the ground with the chainsaw.
