Welcome to blog! I started it in 2020 to chart my recovery from breaking my ankle (hence the name). I guess no-one saw a global pandemic coming. It's turned into a place where I can talk about the things happening in my life, my horse and my cats. Enjoy!
And just like that, we’re back at camp. This time with T&N Equestrian at Blackwater Farm.
Decided to do an extra night so I could take Buddy to Weston Equestrian Centre for a Newmarket Salt treatment. He wasn’t sure to start off with, but think he enjoyed it.
He was obviously feeling well as we’ve had our first camp fall. 🤦🏻♀️ Someone took exception to the pink portaloo. The same one he’s seem several times before. Oh well, camp doesn’t officially start till tomorrow so I’m not counting it. 🤪
Someone was looking super handsome after his bubble bath today. Admittedly he acted like I was drowning him during it. He does make me laugh. He hates having his face washed. Is that a gelding thing?! I’ve had several the same.
His mane looks so much better after a spot of Head & Shoulders. It really does the trick.
Today, Dodo learnt a valuable life lesson. If you play with bees, you’re going to get stung!!
Poor little boy was very unhappy. Thankfully he didn’t react to it. Though he is feeling rather sorry forgot himself. Lots of medicinal cuddles needed tonight.
After a bit of a slow start (I woke up feeling rather crumpled), I’ve had a very productive day. I mowed and scarified both lawns, weeded the borders and attacked a few bushes for good measure.
Also got 3 loads of washing on the line. Hurrah!
The kittens came to help me with the weeding. I say helping. Hugo wanted to lie on the bit I was weeding and Dodo ran off with one of my gloves. They do make me laugh sometimes.
Does this mean I have a ride on mower?! 🤪
Back home after a lovely weekend away with my friends Simon and Harry.
Buddy and I managed to stay dry this afternoon. The same couldn’t be said for Simon and I this morning. We got drenched out on our walk.
Glad I took a change of clothes with me, that’s all I saying. ☔️
Very honoured to spend time with a few of my friends this week. Grateful to have so many wonderful people in my life.
Thank you. You make my life so much richer.
What a whopper of a bun I had today!! Popped to the cafe at Fairhaven Gardens, my first time there.
I do love a Belgium Bun. This filled me up for hours! Why is it called a Belgium bun?! Anyone know?!
Buddy made me laugh tonight. He’d made a hay barricade. Guess he didn’t want to work tonight. Good job he was getting a grooming session then.
Ruth and I headed over to Blickling today. Well it seems appropriate given she works for The National Trust. It’s the first time I’ve been inside. It’s definitely worth it.
Things I have learnt today…
OK so that last one wasn’t about Blickling, but it’s still very exciting. We had the best curry tonight and didn’t have to leave the house. This could be rather dangerous!!
