Brass monkeys

What a fab way to start the festive week. A lovely ride round Blickling. It was brass monkeys weather that’s for sure. Where does that saying come from?!

Fear not, we didn’t freeze. Buddy is super fluffy (he desperately needs clipping) and I was toasty in my Equidry.

I wasn’t too warm to forgo my National Trust Mocha when we were done though. It’s sooo good. As were our ponies…

Finger food

Well I battled my way through the crowd. I survived Aldi and Tescos. I succeeded in my quest to buy enough finger food to keep me going!

I am ready for the festivities. Or the time of the year where I get to ‘eat my body weight in finger food’ as I prefer to call it.

Christmas isn’t my favourite time of the year for so many reasons. This year has been a really tough one. But finger food is my favourite part of it all. I have voluvents. I have filo prawns. I have cheese bites. I have spring rolls. I have a full freezer.

I had my first plate after my ride while watching the show jumping from Olympia Not Olympia. Well once my fingers had thawed out. It was a tad fresh out there! Can’t eat finger food with frozen fingers.
