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!
It’s been a very changeable day! The kittens have experience rain for the first time. Safe to say they’re not fans! They came tearing across the garden wanting to come in.
Thankfully we stayed dry on our hack. Even if it was rather blustery. Blew a few cobwebs away for sure.
Woke up feeling a bit rubbish and with a lot of my mind so decided to do some manual labour. That’s always a good distraction for me.
I hadn’t realised how much my lawn had grown into my border so several hours of clearing and I’ve reclaimed quite a few inches back! I feel the need for a few new plants!
Another brilliant lesson today. This time back over to Brampton for a jumping lesson with Nick Turner.
First time we’ve had a jumping lesson with him for a very long time. He set up a very technical exercise with 2 turn backs to jumps. I’ve now found out they’re call ‘Demi Vaults’. Check us out!!
Then on to course jumping. Really felt like we’re back to where we were before my ankle. The time out has definitely done us good.
I’m out out! A spontaneous dinner was a lovely way to start the weekend. My friend suggested we go to the local pub. Great food too! Their chips are by far my favourites!
Today I did my first yoga class of 2020! And I wasn’t as stiff as I expected. Managed to go most of the moves with incident or embarrassing myself. Even remembered to breath!
Lovely alfresco class in Pippa from Giggle Fit’s garden. And I got to meet her gorgeous pooch Alfie.
Wearing black leggings and a black top probably wasn’t my best choice as I was a tad warm in the final relaxation.
I found this while having a clear out. I love roses and there are some beauties in here. I can feel a trip to Attleborough coming on. But first I need to clear a space (or several) in my borders.
This year has been very good for my garden. I’ve had a lot of time to look at it and replan it (many times). Got a clear vision of what I want to do. Just need to start earning some money so I can pay for it. 😉
It seems that fresh air is very tiring for kittens too. They’ve been passed out for hours!
They spent a lot longer outside today. They both had lots of fun chasing butterflies and each other round the grass.
Dodo also learnt a valuable life lesson – the pond is wet! Hugo already knows this after the toilet incident. So hopefully they’ll both be wary of water now.
After a very productive day, ticking lots of my list, Buddy and I went for a long hack in the late afternoon sun.
Two bridges is one of my favourite hacks. Aptly names as you cross two bridges that go over the train tracks. The same track that runs at the bottom of my garden so I get to see a little bit of my house. Always makes me smile.
We even saw a train go past as we headed for home. Thankfully it didn’t go under the bridge when we were on it. We’d already had one spook on the first bridge so didn’t need one on the second.
It was a lovely way to end a pretty lovely weekend.
