Lambeth Country Show! Not long to go - get your Vegetable Animals inspriation here!

[dogmatique]

Well, um, only if you lot post some pics -

Found a few village show efforts from various places, need to find some expert Thai veg sculptures. Hmm.

Anyway, here's a couple from the West Show in Guernsey to be going on with. They look decidedly familiar don't they?

Love the tomato cat!

Apparently this is Australia's opposition leader, Mark Latham. Don't know him from Adam, but I'm sure our Aussie contingent can confirm the likeness - from the Canberra Show:

Unfortunately we're going to miss this completely, as we'll be at Eastern Haze festival instead.

But before we knew of the clash, we'd been planning the vegetable animals, and what we would have done, very predictably, was aubergine-based, as it's rich!s favourite thing in the world, and of course it would have had to have been a sealion.

How to make a vegetable bucket was the main thing we hadn't yet conquered. :D

(possibly stupid question) Do you have to use vegetabes you've grown yourself or is supermarket fare allowed??
