Show Hit By Foot & Mouth..

Well.. an unexpected twist to the event I worked at last Sunday. It is an agricultural show, with the main attraction and purpose being cattle.
However, due to the sudden hit of Foot & Mouth a ban was put on transporting all cattle, so there was no way of the animals being able to be displayed.
Also the Foot & Mouth outbreak isn’t actually that far from my location, so it would have been rather stupid to have any animals at the show anyway!

Other than that, the show was pretty quiet. Most people we treated had severe sunburn or heat stroke. Also we treated loads of people who had been stung by unknown insects hiding in the grass.

There is quite of work coming up, so will blog soon about that.

Take care..

It’s Been A Long, Long Time…

Hey everyone,

First of all.. my apologies for the length of time since my last blog, I have been so busy with exams, working and other various things that I really haven’t had the time to post a blog! I hope you are all okay and things are well.

I have been on duty at so many things since my last blog that it would take such a long time to write about them all, infact it might just turn into a book!
However, I am on duty at quite a large show all day tomorrow, so I will definetly blog again regarding tomorrow, also with pictures (hopefully!).

The weather forecast is stating that the temperature could get up to as high as 30 degrees tomorrow, which is great news for the organisers of the event, but not so good for us lot who have to pick up the pieces of the silly people who decide not to; wear sun cream, cover themselves from the sun and drink enough water!

Well wish me luck (I think me and my colleagues may need it tomorrow!).

Look back soon for the details of tomorrow…
