Bad hair day

The Beast from the East

For the first time in my life I rang work and said I wasn't that keen to drive this morning, probably only about eight inches of snow but still coming down with a fierce wind behind it.  So a lazy day all round, elderly whippet enjoyed the snow for five minutes before remembering there was a roaring fire inside, he legged it back to the house and repeatedly launched himself at the front door woofing, senile but not stupid.  The Robins are not daft either and have found shelter, only coming out to grab a peanut or two.

Return of the Photo Booth

With some snow on the ground (and plenty more in the sky) I thought it would be nice to dig the Birdcam back out.  The Robin was in at the peanuts before I got more than a couple of paces away and the Nuthatch kept coming back until the dish was empty.  Next job, new batteries in the trail cameras!

First BD Outing for Bellini

Natalie's report from Bellini's first British Dressage Outing..

"First affiliated comp for Bellini really pleased with her 67.76% in prelim 17a, I’m disappointed with second test as we both switched off, still came away with 61.46% in prelim 19. We won both silver section. Lots of positives and lots to learn from."

Had to smile at the "switching off" comment - Natalie was competing after a 15 hour night shift so was doing very well to be out and about and not tucked up under her duvet!

Chamfron Calandria as seen through Chamfron Nicobar's ears!  Her little friends are also both by Arrayan and destined to be polo ponies.
