Go Prickle!

Chamfron Nicobar only went and WON his class at Blair today.  So pleased for his owner / rider Susan who does a great job with him and for Peregrina stud who gave him a fabulous start. 

Spider smiles and saunters

Bellini on the Beach!

Another uber all rounder!

Another Arrayan Numa youngster graduates from the Peregrina Stud "we turn our hooves to anything" camp!!   Chamfron Almendra went on her first dressage outing as a retrained polo pony today.  She coped extremely well and gained two respectable scores of 65% and 64.4% - looked very smart too!  

Weekend Reports!

Chamfron Compostela won her coloured class before taking the overall championship and Chamfron Colorado stormed round the 30km at Dinnet for another gold award.

Homeward bound

On Wednesday we popped back to the Corpach shipwrecks.  The large boat is the MV Dayspring who was originally a mackerel and herring fishing boat but was being repurposed as a house boat when she was torn from her mooring at Camusnagaul Bay during a storm in 2011.  There is also a smaller wreck further along the beach, the Argo but I can't find much about it.  After a lovely visit to Jessica and Colorado we headed off with a few stops on the way home, the Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge, the Laggan Dam viewpoint and James May's caravan from the Grand Tour, Lochdown!

Tourist trip!

On the Tuesday morning my phone cheerily chirped "yesterday you achieved over 200% of your move goal, what will you achieve today?"  At that point I could barely straighten up and every step was accompanied by whimpering so you can insert the appropriate response!  Despite having never read the books or watched any of the movies we went to wave at the Hogwarts Express as it made its way across the Glenfinnan Viaduct and then we headed on to Mallaig and back via the most beautiful beaches at Traigh.  Finally we had a quick visit to the Corpach shipwreck which sits imposingly below Ben Nevis.
