\"Sioe<\/p>\n

As mentioned in my previous post, I attended Sioe M\u00f4n this year. There was so much to see and do that I couldn’t fit it all in to one post. So here’s part 2 of my Sioe M\u00f4n experience….<\/p>\n

Animals<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Sioe<\/p>\n

There were so many animals there – it’s an agricultural show so what do you expect? I went around to see the cattle and sheep pens. I also saw some of the shearing competition. It’s amazing how quick these guys can shear a sheep!<\/p>\n

\"Sioe<\/p>\n

Racing Camels<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Sioe<\/p>\n

Also in attendance was the Joseph and the Amazing Racing Camels<\/a>! It was such fun to watch them race. But this white camel pictured above, decided he was not going to race the final race. He had a strop and sat down and refused to move! Ah camels! Reminded me of our Brian!<\/p>\n

Competitions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Sioe<\/p>\n

There was also plenty of competitions going on in the produce and craft tents. Lots of pretty flowers, impressive vegetables, amazing cakes and cute crafts on display.<\/p>\n

Marge & Mabel Dog Treats<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Marge<\/p>\n

I mentioned in the previous post that there was a lot of shopping to be done at Sioe M\u00f4n. One of the best stands that I stumbled over was this one – Marge & Mabel’s Homemade Dog Treats. I got chatting to the owners and they explained that all the treats are 100% human grade ingredients – no additives etc. I bought the pups a doughnut each and the owners kindly gave me a beef cake and pork pie slice for free! Pups LOVED the treats!<\/p>\n

Welsh Slate Products\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Jon<\/h3>\n

Now of you know I love my Welsh slate! Well I stumbled over Jon March Photography in one of the shopping tents. He was selling local scene photos printed on Ffestiniog Slate. Above left, is a photo of one of the printed products – I adore this photo. It’s a photo of Llyn Cwn on the way up to Cwmorthin in Blaenau Ffestiniog. I almost bought this but after talking to Jon, I thought I’d leave it and have a browse of his website in case there’s more Ffestiniog photos. There’s LOTS – can’t make up my mind which one(s) I want!\u00a0His partner was also there and she did some crafts using slate including the cute little disks shown above. I’m going to visit their shop in Caernarfon soon me thinks.<\/p>\n

There was so much to see at Sioe M\u00f4n that I know I’ve missed bits out. I didn’t even see the fairground! If you want to see more then I prepared a little video….<\/p>\n
