Now the Spring is here, I'm turning my attention to Devon's largest annual event, the Devon County Show.
I posted this YouTube video on the Show's Facebook page this week and am delighted to see that within the space of just a couple of days more than 3,000 people have taken a look.
The film is a quick a catch-up of some of the highlights from last year's show.
And, if you don't already know the show, we call it 'Devon's best day out' for good reason - about 90,000 people enjoy a packed day at the showground. From meeting the animals, enjoying the very best of Devon produce as well as all the action in the show rings, there's lots to see and do.
If you want to come along, the Show takes place on May 19-21, 2016!
