HORSES, sheep dogs, llamas, rabbits and guinea pigs were all part of the fun at the Mid Suffolk Show.
And the sunny weather that attracted 10,000 people to the event should stay with us all week.
According to weather expert Ken Blowers the county can expert more stunning sunshine and a warm climate in the days ahead.
Mr Blowers predicted this week may even see temperatures peak at 68F (20C), the highest so far this year.
He said: “It is an anti-cyclone which will take over the weather and give East Anglia a fine, sunny week with increasing temperatures.
“There have been very chilly winds coming off the North Sea, but these will decrease and allow the temperatures to rise.

John Philpott, general manager of Stonham Barns and the Mid Suffolk Showground, said: “It was absolutely fantastic! The weather has been kind to us once again and we had huge numbers of people along.
“The aim of the show is to give the people of mid Suffolk a really nice place to go for the weekend.
“It is also about educating people about heavy horses and it caters for a diverse range of people.”
As well as the many animals on display families could watch pony-back acrobatics or enjoy a tipple in the beer tent.
And now the fun has ended Mr Philpott said work would begin again as early as this week to prepare for next year's show.
He added: “It takes a lot of work to put something this big on. But it is absolutely worth it when you see everyone having such a good time.”
