It's too easy to drop into nostalgia at a show like this.....

The 2021 Guernsey Agricultural Show was a vintage edition in all forms.

The idea behind this popular show is to take us back to how things used to be in farming, transport, fair grounds, military service - and the list goes on.

This year there were visiting shire horses, steam engines and a vintage fair. Sheep racing, straw baling, tractor displays, fur and feather tents and live music all added up to two full days of entertainment.

A particular highlight this year was a very impressive military display which was beautifully presented and featured many vehicles and 'battlefield' tented displays. The range of equipment on show offered endless interest. Well done to those involved in organizing it.

The length of the line of vehicles waiting to get into the car park was proof that many of us have a soft spot for the past. Maybe we imagine that life was so much better then?

However I think that most of us would have quite a shock if we actually had to go back to those times.

Just as well that we can enjoy both periods by visiting this wonderful vintage show.
