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!
Today I decided to long rein Buddy. He was a tad confused to start off with and just stood there. I know it’s been a few years since we last did it, but I wasn’t expecting him to just plant.
Eventually got him moving and ended up lunging him off both lines. He was an absolute star.
It’s good to switch things up. So grateful for our indoor arena right now I can tell you. The snow is beautiful. I’d like it to go now though…
I couldn’t resist taking some more pictures of Buddy in the snow and sunshine.
Today had been one of those day where I’ve been fed up. Not because anything major has happened. Just because. Fed up with the weather. Fed up with the restrictions. Fed up of being on my own. Fed up of not being able to do the things I love. Fed up of not being able to see the people I love. Fed up of not getting work. Fed up of feeling useless. Just fed up.
BUT it’s OK to feel like this. Lockdown Limbo is draining and gets us all down from time to time. As they say ‘we’re all in the same storm, but different boats’. Today I’m feeling fed up, battered and a tad seasick.
I’m not after sympathy. I know it will pass. And it’s not all bad at all. I’m very lucky in so many aspects of my life. I have a lovely house, 3 gorgeous cats, a handsome horse and so many wonderful people in my life. Just some days are harder than others.
Watching the kittens play in the snow did make me giggle. Love their footprints on the conservatory steps. You can tell which are Nero’s too.
And my parents had their Covid vaccination today. Roll on a brighter future for us all.
This made me laugh today. Buddy has obviously decided to do the Snow Angel challenge.
If you squint, you can almost see his outline.

So we’ve had a bit of snow here. Went for a wander this morning.
Woke up to snow. Again. This time with strong winds. So we all had a snow day.
Used the time to clean tack, tidy the house and cuddle up with the boys watching the rugby. My little twig burner is packing out some heat keeping us all warm. Think it’s going to be needed a lot this week judging by the forecast.
Last time we had snow, the kittens were pretty nonplussed. This time the snow / wind combo has revved them up. They’re tearing round the garden (and house) like their tails are on fire…
Well I wasn’t expecting that! Yes it was forecasted, but they don’t always get it right.
The cats didn’t want to go out. And I was with them. To be honest, I wasn’t sure my little car would make it out of the close. And it definitely wouldn’t get back up again. It’s times like this I miss having a 4×4.
So I watched Frozen and Frozen 2. Well it seemed appropriate. 😂
Safe to say the kittens aren’t impressed with the snow. 😂
