The Essex Showground

Thatching Originally uploaded by messy_beast Once we used to have a big showground at Great Leighs, between Chelmsford and Braintree. As a schoolchild we used to go on educational trips there. We'd have clipboards and do projects about farm animals or farm machinery or traditional country crafts such as thatching.

Cautious optimism as Ffos Las Racecourse opens

It’s a difficult time to be opening a racecourse but Dai Walters, a horse racing enthusiast and local businessman has thrown his wealth into the building of a racecourse at Ffos Las, Trimsaran, about 5 miles away from Llanelli town.

How do we solve a problem like Carmela Maria?

Carmelia Maria, the name conjures up a vision of beautiful Latin woman in a flamenco dress and castanets. The reality was a 5/1 winner last night at Great Leighs in Essex. From the sublime to the ridiculous there I know, but it seemed appropriate. A few quid nicked all round yesterday, which looked doubtful early [...]
