On the way in, I saw that some of the people of Nantwich live on rather lovely canal boats.
Inside the show, I saw that others stay in delightful old fashioned Romany wagons.
The people of Nantwich may not have ordinary houses, but they do have very big cars!
When I arrived, the cheese tent was not open; so I had a look around.
First I saw some sheep;
First I saw some sheep;
Then a cute little calf;
And a cow?
And a man in a Bowler Hat looking at a Shire Horse.
I saw big tractors;
And little ones too.
Later on, I saw some cocks:

| I didn't stick about to see 'King of the Jungle' Gino; but I photographed his flyer. |
Eventually, I saw what I had come for… cheese!
Lots of cheese!
Lots and lots of cheese!
Some of the cheese had come from Lincolnshire. I bought a lovely Double Barrell Poacher from this man.
Some cheese had come from Devon. I love Quickes Traditional Cheddars – Today I bought a piece of delightfully smoky Oak Smoked Cheddar which I hadn’t tasted before.
Some cheese had come from Holland. I bought a Gold Medal Winning Old Amsterdam Gouda.
Some cheeses had come from France.
I saw ‘Martin Platt’ from Coronation Street peddling his cheese.
Some of the smellier cheeses were kept in a temperature controlled room;
Others, in an inflatable cave.
Some cheeses were displayed as cheese boards.
Some were very imaginative;
Some were displayed as lollies;
Some boards were quite serious;
Others more trivial.
Some cheese was highly commended;
Some won awards.
Silver awards;
And Gold awards.
This man, from Ford Farm, with his cave aged Cheddar, won a trophy for having the best cheese – The Supreme Champion 2011!
