Still very early days here at Ballyclare for the Ballyeaston Vintage Club tractor gathering in the Square. Organises tell me that by 11am it should be packed. Time for quick coffee and then back to see who else has arrived

A fab Day 2 at the Balmoral Show! Thanks to visitors who came to see us in the @Food_NI Pavilion. We also loved getting to spend time with our partners @BankofIrelandUK, @nfum, @UFUHQ & @asda and catch up with our wonderful farm hosts. We can't wait to do it all again tomorrow!💕
