    A lovely colt, with a sparkle in his eye – bet those ears were doing overtime!
    Very nice photo Tony:)

  • Anthony Vella replied

    Hi Caroline…..no wonder the colt’s ears were doing overtime…..I bet he never saw so many people flocking around him poor thing. However, I’m sure his Mama reassured him many times. Thank you for visiting and leaving your positive comment.

    Perfect picture Tony.The annual agricultural fair seems to be very interesting

  • Anthony Vella replied

    Thank you Betty. In the old days I remember that there was much, much, more to see. Even last year it was better, and the year before that. It seems that participants are losing their interest as time goes by. It would certainly be a great pity if the organisers and authority let this show die a natural death after being organised for hundreds of years. It used to be great fun for the kids, seeing all the different farm annimals with their young ones.
