Cause a stir

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…

Saddle love

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.

Enjoy the view

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.

Luck and love

Today has been one of those days where I’ve been reminded of how lucky I am. I have so many people in my life who love me, lookout for me and enjoy spending time with me. This week I will be catching up with lots of them. One at a time of course. Really looking forward to it…

Spring cleaning

My carpet cleaner gave up the ghost. Well I worked out I must have had it 15 years, so not bad going. Bought a replacement and kinda got carried away today. Cleaned the lounge, office and my bedroom carpets. It’s made such a difference.

With 3 cats they were a tad filthy. Just look at the colour of that water!! 🤢

Speed

I feel the need, the need for speed! First spin up the gallop strip today. And boy did we both need it! Buddy felt absolutely amazing. It’s such a great feeling letting him run.

Can’t believe how warm it was today! What a difference a week makes. Last week I didn’t have enough layers. This week I had too many!

Lunch in the garden

After the snow, ice and freezing temperatures, it feels good to be able to get outside. Rather productive few hours cutting back the undergrowth. Still a lot to do. Good to make a start. And yes, I need to mow the lawn. I say lawn, it’s mostly moss. Good job I’ve got a scarifier. 😊

Snowdrops

These made me smile so much today. I love it when the snowdrops come out. Spring is definitely on the way. I’ve got crocuses and tulips popping up too.

Spring is my favourite season by far. I love the hope and optimism of it. Mother Nature is waking up and preparing to bloom!
