I AM writing to express my congratulations to the organisers of the Pembrokeshire County Show.

Having recently spent two weeks on a camping holiday with my family in Pembrokeshire, we decided to visit the show as a day out after reading about it in your newspaper.

I am delighted to say we were astonished by the size and scale of the event – it was nothing short of fantastic.

It was wonderful to see the traditional rural way of life being celebrated in such a fashion.

The atmosphere was incredibly friendly and welcoming and we all thoroughly enjoyed wandering around the food area sampling the local produce. I was stunned by the number and quality of the events and displays taking place.

The animals on show were fabulous. I have never seen such a huge number of stunning horses, pigs, cows and sheep.

My eight-year-old daughter was completely entranced by the horses and my son loved the tractors. Both have spent every minute since our return home telling their friends what a fantastic time they had at the Show.

Even after spending a full day at the Show I imagine we still only manage to scrape the surface of everything that was going on. The Show was a brilliant advert for your county and one we will be telling our friends about in future.

This was our first visit to Pembrokeshire, but it most certainly will not be the last.

We all fell in love with the coastline, the people and particularly the Show, and I would just like to congratulate everyone involved.

Rest assured we will be back again next year and we will be timing our holiday to coincide with the Show.

We look forward to seeing you all there next year.
