worst in show

stoked - a second place !

so witness here a good dose of sour grapes

i know i should be grown up enough to take it on the chin

but i have some serious doubts when three people enter a category

and only first and second are placed

only three entries in the basket arrangement  (mine is the yellow at back)

 now my husband did mention that the rules did say that a third didn't have to be awarded

but i think in the spirit of community it should have

and not just because i would have been third !

yes yes i know good people give up their spare time to judge

yes yes i know that not everyone can win

buuuut 

all these people put entries in, the least that can happen is three places awarded

dinner table arrangement - only two awards for five entries !

on the upside my watercolours teacher will get a giggle that i placed first and second

in the the watercolours category (there were only two entries)

and the kids did exceptionally well placing first and second in the kids drawings

first in the decorated boiled eggs

and first in the jewellery making

(the giant zucchini didn't fair so well even though it weighed in at nearly five kilos)

maybe next year i'll just volunteer to be a steward
