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!
Today I gave the Buddymobile a good spring clean. The living is sparkling, the lockers are all tidy and everything is back where it lives.
As the lorry was out, thought I’d take the chance to load Buddy. It’s been a few months since we’ve been anywhere so always good to keep our hand in. He was fairly chilled and loaded several times.
Just need somewhere to go…
Happy St David’s Day. My Nana was Welsh so a quarter of me is celebrating.
I got this stunning Amaryllis for Christmas. This first bloom popped today and I’m blown away by how beautiful it is.
It’s called Double Dragon. Which is perfect as I have a love of dragons. And it’s one of my nicknames.
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.
What a glorious day!
The moon was stunning this evening. I really wish I could take a decent photo of it. This came out better than I expected. The sky really was that pink!
Look who are 1 today! 😻😻
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…
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.
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.
