The great outdoors

I’ve spent most of the day outdoors. And loved it.

Started with breakfast on the patio with the boys. It was a beautiful way to start the day.

Then mowed and scarified the back lawn. It desperately needed it. I may have overdone the scarifying as I have a couple of bald spots. Whoops!

Then finished with a long hack in the afternoon sunshine. We weren’t alone as everyone seemed to have the same idea. Saw lots of cyclists, walkers and tractors out and about.

Cause a stir

I had my Echo today to check my heart after having Covid. My car was still in the garage so the Buddymobile got a run to the hospital. So grateful that there were 4 spaces free so I was able to park it up. Got a few funny looks I can tell you…

Saddle love

Looks like Hugo has decided to embrace side saddle today. He really does love sleeping on my dressage saddle. Made me giggle when I saw him perched on it.

Today is also 3 years since I bought my Fairfax jump saddle. I may have had a mild panic at the cost, but there hasn’t been a ride in it when I regret it. It’s still the most comfortable saddle I’ve ever ridden in.

Enjoy the view

Day 146: enjoy the view. What a beautiful day it’s been. It’s been positively balmy. I got 3 loads of washing on the line. The first bloom on my camellia is starting to open. And I took Buddy out for a long hack.

It was rather windy, but it was one of those days where I just wanted to keep going.

Luck and love

Today has been one of those days where I’ve been reminded of how lucky I am. I have so many people in my life who love me, lookout for me and enjoy spending time with me. This week I will be catching up with lots of them. One at a time of course. Really looking forward to it…
