Paula Hynes: I greet my guests with a 'Welcome to Fawlty Towers' sign

Last week may have been a bank holiday weekend, but with so many shows on the horizon, Paula's been busy catching up and keeping ahead with farm chores ahead of her visitors arriving

Belgooly Show dairy judge Richard Forde; John Sullivan with Supreme Dairy champion Lisduff Sunflower; Martin O Regan of Belgooly show; and Georgie Hynes with Reserve Dairy Supreme Rathard Chocochip Dream.

Last weekend was Belgooly show — it always falls on the June bank holiday weekend. It is an agricultural show with an amazing community spirit and one which I always look back on with fond memories because it is the one that Becky won her first-ever showmanship class at a few years ago. I still pinch myself when I see what she has won since then.

We always do our best to support Belgooly Show — the girls learnt their trade there, and with all the big shows they compete at now, I think it is crucial in life not to forget where you started.
