Awwww look who came upon my FB memories today. A teeny tiny Hugo Boss. This was the photo that made me adopt him after losing Tom.
He and Dodo have grown into handsome little boys. I can’t imagine life without them.

Today Rachael Blackmore made sporting history by becoming the first female jockey to win the Grand National with victory on Minella Times at Aintree.
She deserves all the plaudits today. As does the horse and everyone involved with him.
One of the things that makes equestrianism so special is that gender doesn’t play a factor. Men and women compete on an equal footing. It doesn’t matter about the gender of the horse either. Mares, stallions and geldings all compete each other. It’s about you and your horse on the day.
Wonder why racing has taken so long to catch up.

Sad news that the Duke of Edinburgh has passed away today. My thoughts are with The Queen and his family.
I met him once. Well I say I met him. I embarrassed myself in front of him. My parents took me to The Royal Tournament at Earls Court. The Prince walked past where we were sitting. And I piped up ‘Oh look, there’s Princess Philip’. 🤦🏻♀️
It seems I’ve always had a way with words…. Not sure if he heard, but he did smiled.

We had a rather low flying plane go over the yard today. The kinda low where you can almost see the colour of the pilot’s eyes!
It was really loud. None of the horses were bothered at all. The same wasn’t true for the riders as we rushed to see it.
Apparently it’s an A400M, which is the RAF’s latest transport. Whatever it was, it was very cool.

Today has been one of catching up. With friends. With stuff. With Buddy. After 3 days of feeling a bit off, I’m definitely back on good form.

Is Winter mad at us?! Or did we upset Spring?! The weather is as odd as I felt yesterday. I can’t say I feel 100% but definitely better than I was.
I looked out the window earlier and the snow / hail was swirling around. Is that what it’s like to be in a snow globe?! Amazing the thoughts that pop into your head sometimes.

I had boundless energy last night and like I could dance for hours. Today I woke up feeling like I had! The only way to describe it was a hangover. I felt woozy, wobbly and with no energy. All very odd. In fact I still feel a bit odd. Sure it’ll go soon enough. And trust me, it’s nothing like having a Covid.
Had a duvet day and took it really easy. Went to do my meal deliveries though. One of the chaps I deliver to gave me an Easter present. So sweet. Makes me realise how much they appreciate the delivery. They all said that they weren’t sure if they’d see me today. But we’re all very pleased they did.


A few photos from the Arena Eventing clinic on Saturday. So much love for this little boy! 😍



I know some people have felt ill after it, but I’m feeling full of energy after it. Very odd indeed.
Good job too as I spent the rest of the day cleaning out the shed, the greenhouse and starting off my seeds for this year.
Treated myself to a Chinese takeaway too. Happy Easter everyone!
