... and had a pootle round the school...... not just on Albi, but on Jack too!!!
My daughter has come to live with us. She came up at Christmas and decided the day after I took her home at New Year that she was going to give up trying to make a life - post-boyfriend - in Wiltshire. To be honest, the announcement brought a black cloud over me, not because I don't want her here but just because Dom and I have been on our own up here for 6 years and I was concerned about her being jealous of our horse-time. Plus I needed to sort the house to empty out the spare room for her furniture and to find cupboard space for her in the bathroom and kitchen. So I basically lost my riding mojo and felt a bit down in the dumps. Joey going didn't help. Anyhoo, she arrived last Thursday and actually I now feel like a weight has been lifted. Because she's been single for nearly 6 months and has lived in lodgings since the beginning of November, she's gotten used to her own company and is quite happy to sit and read a book or watch TV whilst I go out.
So yesterday I decided to hop on both the boys, just to remind us all that riding is still on the agenda!! Now I have a pile of tack that needs a deep clean and condition *rubs hands together excitedly*
