White stuff

Its nearly time for the kids to go back to school, ive enjoyed being here over the holidays but am ready to go back to work now..lol

The gardens are ready to plant up, whats in there is now getting snowed on this morning..lol ive been sitting outside as usual with my cuppa enjoying watching it like a mad women in my fellas oversized coat, but this is the type of sunday morning i love..its something a bit diferent

Everyones still asleep here after another late night so its wonderfully peaceful, with just me and my radio for company, Dayles up later so today should be a good day..

I had to giggle last night as my fella was showing me his new moves he had learnt yesterday (he does an extra class on his own sat) my god he is getting really good now, much to everyones amusement i was being swung round the lounge with style, everything seems to be slotting into place and he is really getting this down to a T...

We are hitting Paris Thursday so its going to be a busy week, i need a couple of days now without sandpaper or white spirit to let my hands heal as next week will be back to photos orders and juggling the hours again...lol

Riding went so well saturday, we had a fun lesson doing races and giggle stuff, Lauren beat me twice on Ebony we were trying to balance an egg while racing ...hehe

But then it was down to me on shadow and the other girl on Sorrell in a straight speed race.... i dont normally like competitions but i do hold a very soft spot for Sorrel who was my allocated horse before the other girl got him and i got moved onto shadow... so theres no way i was going down lightly and letting her win.... its a matter of principle.. mine..lol

Anyway speaking of competitions (dreaded word) ive enterered one ! i pulled out of something i loved years ago because of my dislike of that word, so yesterday when they were talking about next months jumping one, i opened my mouth before i had time to change my mind and said yes..... so im in !..........

Anyway its time for another cuppa and sit outside in all that lovely white stuff ! spring is certainly bringing a few suprises.......lol

Riding in The Snow

Its been a busy week , hense my lack of posting, sorry everyone......

Ive been trying to cram everything in this week, but whatever i failed in i'll sort out later.. its good to procratinate sometimes...lol

Last night i was standing in the most beautiful garden in the snow, it was lovely getting covered and allows me to use heavy snow fall as the excuse for acting like a child..lol

Im so pleased with my kids this week, their reports were good and they had a 100% attendance record again, its not easy in school holidays to try keep working so thankfully my lot are all strong and healthy the rest of the time...

Today we thought riding would have been cancelled so i rang earlier to check, but it was still on and surprised us ...

So off we set slowly today as my road was like a skating rink, and my little girl wasnt very well bless but really did still want to still ride.... so i had to go with it..although i didnt really want her to as shes not as strong as usual and hasnt eaten much all week..

We got there and sarahs hubby John had been up digging and raking over the whole field, so although i bet he aches bless, it enabled us to still enjoy our day..so a big thank you goes out to him..

There were only 3 of us today and it was freezing and very white everywhere, but once we got started we soon warmed up, Shadow was having another really eratically fast day again, all three horses were strange to say the least.....

Anyway nearly half way through the lesson we were all cantering round one at a time and it was then laurens turn on her pony, thats where it all kind of went wrong........

She was cantering round the ring and a lump of snow fell from the ridge of the fence , it wasnt big but scared her pony badly, she then bucked in canter and off over the horses heas went Lauren doing a somersault.............

I have never shouted so loud, i honestly thought the pony was going to ride over her, but somehow it managed to avoid her, she did right and as weve both been told, rolled and curled up and thankfully apart from scaring the hell out of us and a good few bruises shes ok, i told sarah not to make her get back on the pony, Lauren has to do what she feels and it was a really bad fall, but bless after 20 mins and getting her wind back she asked to go back on.........i am really proud of her today,she was so brave and determined ...

Anyway we took a few photos today , there would have been more but the camera got thrown when lauren did but im sure well make up for it next week....

So we gave them their polos said a big thank you to John and came home, i then had a salsa lesson to do.... so i have very sore feet now..lol

Have a great weekend everyone, ill be thinking of my friends at chant tonight and sending them all my warmest wishes, but for reasons beyond my control i cant sadly be there, although i wanted to more than ever........... so ill wish you all a fantastic night and sending loads of love from me.......
