I HAD lots of fun when I went along to Dorset County Show at Dorchester Showground, near Coker’s Frome.

It was great to wander around in the sunshine, making new friends, and watching displays including gymnastics and monster trucks.

I also enjoyed seeing the prize-winning animals such as cows, sheep, pigs and horses and enjoying the delicious local food on offer.
