Last Sunday we made the epic trip down to Dartmoor for a very exhausting yet brilliant day. We both had a lovely time (OK so I don't think Brendon found parting with £100 to buy me a present that lovely but you know, he did owe me an anniversary gift) :p
The show was a general live show with a performance section and CCR section to start and then an OF, CM and AR section finishing with a plastic CTF and bendy CTF section.
I took a variety of models but mainly my new ones and my RubberNedz of course :D
It was a long drive down but once there I helped set up all the tables and Brendon and I settled into our usual corner. The show ran really well, despite the huge long class list and it was wonderful to chat to lots of people I hadn't seen in ages and make some new friends :D
Dorothy and Lauren both did a really good job, I also loved the rosettes! They were lush and there were some very nice chocolate related prizes (chocolate is always good).
The standard was really high and there were loads of stunning custom models that I hadn't seen before and made for lots of pretty photographs, so enjoy looking through :D
The highlight of the day had to be winning reserve supreme with Albert, that's his second reserve supreme in a month and I'm just over the moon. He is turning out to be such a little superstar, I just can't get enough of him :D
O and second highlight was definitely my beautiful new Valegro custom. Say hello to CRS Champagne Kisses
Anyway onto the photographs.
