Almost there...

With Christmas almost here I proudly finished off the last bits of wrapping this weekend. What a lovely feeling to have everyone's pretty parcels all finished, gleaming under our tree. This weekend saw
us celebrate with our great friends B & A who have just purchased their first house. We drank wine, ate pizza and laughed lots
us relax with a delicious MrB-cooked Sunday roast while watching Roman Polanski's Oliver Twist - it's superb
me ride for 2 hours in the pale winter countryside yesterday.

I found out that the horse I normally ride, Murphy, has semi-retired as he can't cope with walk/trot/canter hacks any longer. I feel sad about not being able to ride him again, he's the most lovely gentle giant who I really bonded with. Hopefully next year I'll find another horse who I share such a bond with.


I hope you all enjoyed your weekends and have got everything prepared for this exciting week coming up!

  5. I love riding, and I need to get back into it. It is simultaneously energizing and relaxing - what yoga is SUPPOSED to be, when your teacher is not Yarles, heehee! Merry Christmas!
