Feildays

Its Feildays week. Feildays is the big rural fair of the year for all of NZ. So if you are a city girl like moi, and you feel like a taste of country life, then this is the place to visit. Pack your gumboots and rain coat, be prepared to feast on pies and chips, and admire the plethora of farmery type things for sale.

Whoever knew that there were so many machines in existence even. Tractors and diggers and harvesters and utes and trucks. And untold strange machines to do things to animals, and land. Quite a wonder, all of it.


They had tractor pull races, all probably terribly serious, with rules and times and records and all. It seemed to be BYO tractor too, just imagine! all those tractors toddling down the highway on their way to Feildays. When I was watching a female farmer won, go feminism!


I was looking for a trailer, but alas, there only seemed to be gung-ho type trailers for farmery things, not small city girl trailers, so I'll have to move to plan B. Eventually, don't need to rush into these things.
