EKO Sense stall @ The Royal Cornwall Show...

EKO Sense stall @ The Royal Cornwall Show...

It was great to meet so many lovely people at the No.1 date in the Cornish diary…The Royal Cornwall Show…from sheep shearing, dancing diggers, fairground fun to the best chicken in show…there really was something for everyone. It was also nice to give people some EKO treats and receive some great feedback from some lovely people!

Here are some of my snaps from the show:

The lovely white geese have a good gossip through their pens. It really is surprising they can stay upright…good job they have those big orange feet!

The prettiest cockerel with designer black and white feathers…has to be the best bird in show and in the tent opposite the EKO Sense pitch!

It was great to unwind with an ice cold beer @ The Blue Bar in Porthtowan and relax while watching the sun go down….and much deserved after 3 days on the toes @ The Royal Cornwall.

Great fun and we will be back next year…
