Gill Gowland and Helen Kestle set off today to work as stewards at the Royal Cornwall Show, with a kind lift from Dorothy Oliver and her husband, Alan.
The W.I. tent was easy to spot …

Feeling exhausted and with aching feet, our only remaining dilemma was to try and remember where we’d parked the car!
