Stormy weather

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Blimey! That was some storm!! Can’t say I slept very well. Too much crashing and banging. The top of my holly tree has snapped and nearly taken the sail with it. I honestly didn’t think it was going to be that bad. I’d have taken the sail down had I known. I also left one of the seat cushions out. Needless to say that’s a tad soggy.

Lost some of the buddleia on the train track behind my house. And my pheasant tree has blown over. I can see broken branches on the trees across the tracks. I haven’t been out to check the rest of the house yet. Fingers crossed everything’s OK.

Hope everyone is safe. The clean up will have to wait till I’m feeling better and the weather improves.

So 2020 was going to be my year. The year I got my life sorted after being served redundancy notice from my job in November 2019. The year I ticked off more things from my horsey bucket list. The year I got my mental health back under control and reduced stress in my life. I had a plan. And it was a good one. Then the plan changed dramatically on 2 January. I came off my horse at speed and broke my ankle. Badly. Like all good equestrians, I got back on and rode back to the yard, sorted Buddy out and then drove myself to A&E. That’s where this journey really began... I was sent home from A&E and told to crack on, only to receive a phone call later to say they’d missed a fracture (and a rather serious one at that). Whoops! So fracture clinic on 3 January, surgery on 5 January and home to recover. I started this blog as a way to chart my recover back to the saddle. As I cleared clinics and competitions out of my diary and wondered what the next few months would bring, it's been a safe space for me to say how I'm feeling. The new plan was to get a new job, to keep Buddy is kept ticking over and recover from my injury. Another good plan! I didn't expect a global pandemic, lockdown and all that happened in 2020. This blog has changed over time but it's continued to be my safe space to share the things going on in my life, with Buddy and the cats. Enjoy!
