A & H Show

The first Monday in October has always been set aside for the Royal Agricultural & Horticultural Show. It's very popular and usually everyone on Island calls in at one time or another to view the arts, crafts and produce that Norfolk is so capable of.  There are a number of photos and some may double up but I'm just going to upload the lot.  Please enjoy.
