Runneth over

Well my cup runneth over this weekend. My Riding Club family have given me such a boost. So did Buddy.

It’s been a fab weekend. I’m still beaming from yesterday’s clinic. Being able to get back out jumping definitely filled me with joy.

Last night, I had a lovely dinner with Nicola Wilson, Simon Grieve and most of the Carleton Committee. It was great to catch up with them. So many laughs over great food. Very much needed.

Today, I was driver and support crew, heading to Wakefield Stud for Nicola’s second clinic of the weekend.

There are times when organising clinics like this seem a very daunting and thankless task. Seeing the smiling faces over this weekend, makes it worth it. Very proud to have played a tiny part in it all.

I know that this week is going to be tough as I head back down South for my Mum’s funeral. This weekend brought tears to my eyes, a smile to my face and more memories for the archives.

Sunbeams

The chiropractor’s receptionist is on holiday, so super sub has been called into action. 8 extra days of peopling this month! Today was the first day and it was so great to catch up with lots of the patients I haven’t seen for a while. My face is aching from smiling all day.

I’ve been working there for a few years now. So I’ve met an awful lot of people there now. Being with people really boosts me. The joys of being an extrovert I guess. I also find it really interesting the conversations I end up having. Here’s to two more days this week.

Boost

Well it’s taken me till the age of 53 (and a half) to be the proud owner of a pair of jump leads.

The Buddymobile needs a little boost when it’s been sat for a while. Or it cold. I mean, who doesn’t?! I’ve been borrowing some when needed, but yesterday when I was driving back from the woods, I decided to go and get some of my own.

I have a phrase when I’m grooming for someone – ‘Better to have them and not need them, than need them and not have them’. This is the same.

Typically I needed them today. The Buddymobile hasn’t been out for a while. What with parent drama, flu and no saddle, it’s only had one outing this year. Thought I’d take it out for a spin. It felt good to be back behind the wheel.

Next time I’m going to take Buddy with me…. Time for some more horsey adventures.
