Uppingham's 111th Fatstock Show in Photos

An event celebrated for 111th time in Uppingham's Market Place which has been held for many years, first recorded in 1889. Uppingham's Fatstock Show is the only event of its kind still held in the UK in a towns market place.

The show brings together many locals who celebrate the Uppingham Fatstock tradition annually and I  think it's absolutely fabulous that so many people braved the cold morning on Wednesday to attend the event, admire the animals and watch the judging!

I popped along with my camera to capture some of the mornings event to share with you all here on the blog. So here it is, Uppingham's Fatstock Show 2017 in photos...

Enjoy!

A Visit to: MSK Osteopath, Uppingham

Over the past couple of months, I have been visiting MSK Osteopath at Uppingham Surgery and Uppingham School Sports Centre for treatment for on-going pain and discomfort I have been suffering with for years.

From the age of 14 I have suffered from back pain, leg pain, discomfort in my ankles and stiffness and tightness throughout my body. I have been told I have extremely tight hamstrings, similar to a 70-year-old, which I have had an operation to try to relieve some pain. However, it never really took the pain or uncomfortable situations away. This has since changed, due to treatment at MSK Osteopath.

I cannot thank Avin enough and here is why...

Within the first 20 minutes of the consultation, Avin was able to identify an area of my pelvis which was causing me the majority of my tightness and discomfort due to my tight hamstrings, causing my pelvis to take the strain.

With weekly treatment of medical acupuncture, stretching and manipulation of the area in my pelvis, back and legs I've seen the most improvement from any of the treatments I have had over the last 10 years.

Where to go Pumpkin Picking!

I've always wanted to go pumpkin picking as I am a big fan of Halloween. Last year I took it upon myself to search for a local farm where I could do just that! My friends and I had so much fun, like big kids! It really was a great day out for people of all ages to enjoy.

So, we went again this year and I thought I'd take along my camera to photograph the afternoon so I could share it on the blog to show you where you can go pumpkin picking locally!

Harringworth Village Dog Show in Photos

On Sunday 10th September, my partner and I headed over to Harringworth for their 'Companion Dog Show'. Before we walked down to the paddock where it was being hosted, we popped into Spokes Cafe, located next to Harringworth's Manor Stables for a bap and a locally roasted coffee, as it was a cold, wet and windy morning!
