So here I am at last, online in my own flat! Yay!!

I have so many photos to share with you.
And so many more to take.
I admit I stopped for a while, given the frustration of not being able to share them.
And the weather here is defiantly rainy, which doesn't show many places at their best.
But now I can pick and choose, and I'll probably choose to take at least some in the rain.

For example the town is immensely proud that Le Tour is coming through it on 5 July, so I have to take a photo of some of the painted windows, banners, yellow bikes used as planters etc.

And the local independent shops in their courtyards and alleyways, the many many many pubs and chipshops, the glooming old churches etc. All of which can be done from under my waterproof jacket.

But I thought I'd best start with Otley Show.
Fast forward quite a way if you are not interested in Agricultural Shows, I admit I took lots of pics. It's the first show of the season and it usually pelts it down; although why people here are surprised by that I have no idea, given it's the default weather setting.

This year in my honour it was bright and sunny and I really enjoyed myself.
Went on a limited budget, and although I took enough for food and drink (because it was a day out and a treat) I promised myself I would not buy anything to bring home, and I didn't. I know other people might see that as the wrong way round, but when I was a child we always had warm squash and homemade sandwiches on days out, so buying a chap crappy burger and an ice cream still speaks to the child in me, rather than some tat which catches my eye at the time and them just has to be moved around the country later!

So I stayed there for hours and it was money well spent.
Bullocks!
No, really. Bovines first.

As I said, they're geared up for the Tour de France.

Cycling challenge.
And no, I didn't. But only so I didn't win the whisky of course.

There were various commercial tents as well as stands selling food to eat there and then.
Traditional and expected, and perhaps not so traditional or expected...

Fell in love with the tiny hand made guinea pigs. And so cheap too.
NO.
Bad guinea pigs. No.

didn't get no preserves either.
Although I admit they had some interesting combinations, including hot beetroot, which I can attest is wonderful with corned beef having had it at Limey's.

Pies are a serious business hereabouts.

Lemonade not so much, but I liked the brightly coloured stall.
I took this on my initial tour, reasonably early on.
When I passed it approx 3 hours later it had sold out. So maybe Otley folk take their lemonade more seriously than I realised.

Now you're reconnected all is right with the World and its Wide Web.

That's how I read it the first time.
