Dubrovnik, Kravica Waterfall and Mostar

The affectionally named "Wocratia" trip, a group of widowed and young (and childless) hitting Dubrovnik for a week.  Viv and I arrived on Tuesday and shared a lovely apartment actually in the old town, catching up with the others who had arrived on Sunday, the forward raiding party already knew good places to eat and had planned some day trips - what stars!  The first of these was the incredibly beautiful Kravica Waterfalls and Mostar in Bosnia.  The Bosnians do famously have a rather black sense of humour (finely honed by the war one presumes) luckily I do too.

Slim pickings

Not much on the trail cameras, both have new batteries in them today but they are definitely just hanging on by a thread.  The fox seems to have acquired an eye injury.

Beach babes!

Decisions, Scottish Appaloosa show or beach...!  

Spider Selfie!

Spider is seriously upping his selfie game these days.  Mind this is as close to a PDA as we get!

WES National Show - Chamfron Paloma

Paloma and Alison had a great weekend at the WES National Show, placing in all their classes, many of which had over twenty entries.  Then Paloma was borrowed by Zac, aged three and three quarters, and they placed 3rd in showmanship, 3rd in horsemanship, 4th in pleasure, and 2nd in trail.

Blair 2019

Blair this weekend and it more than made up for the wet weather last year, 28 degrees and not a cloud in the sky all day.  Good catch up with Sonya and Jude, some wine drunk, some pathetic "not drinking again" mutterings in the morning and home just in time to check the fabulously famous Spider.

More old news

Helen found an article in the Southern Reporter from 2011 featuring Spider after the McFadyens had bought him.
