We love A & Ps! (Agricultural and Pastoral Shows), much like country fairs. Sheep trials, horse showings, displays, the best group of four potatoes or beetroot, best agapanthus or rose, wool judging, sheep competitions, vintage tractors, the like. We spent the day about an hour north of Dunedin, taking the drive after Rick finished up with a student thesis defense. Loads of sheep to pet, a fox terrier race (a rabbit carcass tied onto a rope, dragged by a ATV around the paddock; the dog Karin was rooting for lost but really shoudl have won.) Had a lovely visit with a nice man who raises alpachas. Rick was thrilled to find a stall sellilng the licorice he's been lusting after since the kind he found at A & P show near Christchurch in 1999. Had a yummy sausage on a slice of white bread for lunch, and visited with a lot of lovely people.
