Little touches

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I popped into B&M today for some plastic drawers. As you do. I came out with some little plastic plants for my lorry. As you do…

Honestly, it’s damn near impossible to come out with just one thing. I also got a bath mat for the lorry shower. Not that I’ve actually used it yet.

I know it might sound silly, but I saw these and thought they’d add those little touches to my lorry. Besides, they were in the sale. There were six left on the shelf. Another woman and I were both eyeing them up and laughing about how cute they were. We ended up taking three each.

I think they look really good and that’s what matters. My lorry is a little bit of a home away from home. Now it feels even more homely.

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!
