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!
That moment when you’re lighting a match and a bit flies off and burns you. Honestly, it’s a wonder I’m still alive!
Not a clue how I did it. I was striking the match away from me. Growing up, my Dad was a Scout Leader so I learned that one a long time ago.
All I can say is that it flipping hurts. Another scar for the collection huh?! Good job I can laugh at my own ineptitude lighting the twig burner. As Prodigy sang, I’m a fire starter, twisted fire starter. Or maybe I’d just met my match.
Today I did a good thing. I took a friend and her horse over to Mousehold Farm so that they could have a lesson there. She doesn’t have transport, so I decided to pay it forward. I remember what it was like before I got transport.
I get a warm fuzzy feeling doing a good turn for people. That was about the only warm bit of me! It was blinking freezing! Honestly, I was wearing lots of layer. Felt like we’d either gone back to January.
It’s like Winter and Spring can’t decide who’s turn it is. Let’s hope Summer gets in on the act soon.
Not sure I’ve ever lit the twig burner in April before. At least I’m toasty now.
The twig burner has been lit. My goodness there’s been a change in the weather. Yesterday it was warm, today it’s been cold. So it was time to light the fire and snuggle under the blanket.
Broke out Buddy’s thicker rug too. Typical when he was clipped yesterday that the temperature drops a few degrees. He’ll be snug tonight. And nice and loose after a rubdown from Auntie Sam.
Spookily I had a rundown today as well. Mine was definitely well overdue! There were a lot of tight bits. Let’s just say I’m less expressive than Buddy when it comes to tight bits. He definitely tells you where it’s tight!
The twig burner has been called into action today. It’s been rather cold. And it seems I have one too!
Woke up feeling rather under the weather (where does that phrase come from?!). Still managed to get stuff down but at a slightly slower pace. Blooming germs. I really don’t like being ill. Thankfully it’s just a cold so will pass soon.
At least the twig burner has made my little house feel toasty, cozy and warm. And that makes me very happy.
Well March seems to have a bit of a bitter sting in the tail. My goodness, it’s been cold today. It’s seen the return of the twig burner, blankets and kitten cuddles.
March came in like a lamb, but is definitely going out like a lion. Sleet and snow forecast tomorrow… Fun times! 🥶
What an incredible sunset tonight. The sky was on fire. It took my breath away.
It’s one of the more pleasant things about winter. I love the contrast between the bare trees.
It was a lovely way to end a pretty lovely day.
