On the Track

Today the track was open for business. It is for the Minions’ and their constant battle against laminitis. I hope this is the answer as it was a lot of hard work to build. I don’t want…

Exploring

So, I noticed, when I fed everyone their breakfast this morning, that no one had actually explored much of their new track. They had all just been standing around. So, on the dog-walk (much to Ted…

AWOL

Oh, what a night…… it was awful. Monster didn’t come home. He left at around 6.00 p.m. while I was cooking supper last night and was never seen again. OH and I were very worried…

Every year I wait and wait for the first signs of spring and this is the photo I love the most – the primroses are starting to flower on the banks of the burn (stream). Soon, the bank will b…
