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!
I’m back! Did you miss me?!? My broadband has finally been fixed. The engineer was here for two hours.
It’s been a little odd having limited connectivity. We rely so heavily on technology and I hadn’t quite appreciated just how much I use the internet. I now have a very long list of things I need to catch up on…
You ever get that feeling you’re being watched. Well today I was. Came out of the greenhouse after watering to find Dodo watching me. He’s worked out he can jump from the log store to the garage. And from the garage to the conservatory.
He obviously gets a better view of the birds that way…
It’s been a long time since I was in the show ring. 2 years probably. It was good to have the smell of showshine in my nostrils again. To cheer my charges on. And bask in their performances.
It was the Norfolk Equestrian Show. Felt a bit odd being back at the show ground. It felt tiny without all the hustle and bustle of the normal show. Still it was lovely to be back with the horses.
I borrowed a hat for my grooming duties. I may look like a Victorian Orphan, but I think it really suits me. The owner did too, so she gave it to me. Great day out!
Today is Norfolk Day. Apparently. I’ve been a resident of this county since 2006. I’m not a local yet. Think I’m out of the stranger phase now. 🤪
It’s not just Nelson’s County. It’s mine too.
Popped over to Little Plumstead for lunch with a friend. We walked up the Walled Garden Community Cafe. What a brilliant way to use this space.
The planting was beautiful. It was great to catch up and put the world to rights (over a sausage roll of course).
I got back from my parents to find this beauty in my garden. I love sunflowers. This is the first time I’ve grown them for many many years. I’m grateful that I was gifted a few. They’re all growing well.
I had a good journey back from Sussex. The M25 was surprisingly clear. The same can’t be said about the weather. It was a tad soggy. But the lightning makes me smile. Good job too as there was a lot of that.
Mum went for a spin in her mobility scooter today. It must be over 2.5 years since she last ventured out in it. She was nervous and didn’t go far, but she did it.
Hopefully it means she will be able to get out a bit more.
I drove to my parents this evening. I had a good run through. A clear M25 is always a bonus let’s face it!!
I used to listen to music, but I’ve recently started listening to podcasts. I was listening to a couple by Dean Grazoisi on my way here. He’s a very interesting man. There were lots of snippets that really resonated with me.
It was bathtime for Buddy today. It’s been so hot, I thought it would be a nice change for him.
Took him for a graze while he dried off. He found a pile of cleavers (or the sticky plant to you and me). He went mad for them.
We were talking about them last week at camp. That’s when I found out they were called cleavers. Love a new fact!
