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!
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!
Another day, another horsey outing. This time to Oxnead for a spot of Arena Eventing. It was a clinic run in aid of East Anglian Air Ambulance.
I couldn’t fault Buddy today. He felt amazing. Jumped everything, even off some of my directionally challenged lines. It was such fun!
Definitely feeling that we’re ready for competitions again. Bring it on…
