Well, we're nearly a month into 2014, but here is my Year in Photos post for 2013. I did cut out a load of photos, but this is still pretty image-intensive (I think there are about 35 pictures in all). Not really expecting anyone to look, I just really enjoy making this post as it's fun! :) 2013 was a pretty alright year.

Haha, oh god. This one went on forever. You can just skip to the photos if you like (but don't worry - I don't have a photo for every single pet)! Master list for meme is here.

Pets I Have Had

Ben and I spent Sunday working with the Shires at the East of England Autumn Show. Usually the Wisbech Shire Horse Society holds their annual show here but, due to rising costs from the showground, this year they held it a month earlier at Sacrewell Farm instead. So instead of competitions, we provided heavy horse demos - driving, agricultural work ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Ben and I did a 400 mile round trip to collect his (newly fixed) horsebox and his mare. We took the train up to Yorkshire to get the box, and then drove to my parent's place in Cambridgeshire which is where Iris has been living for the past week. There we were kindly given dinner, before packing up and driving on home to Surrey ( Read more... )

The internet's current MO seems to be that it works fine for 10 minutes, then dies for an indeterminate time before reviving again for a further 10 minutes. Apparently PlusNet will have it fixed for us by Tuesday ... awesome. -_ ( Read more... )

Mum put this photo up on Facebook of my girls. Adorable, right? :P Pepsi can be friends with other horses when she doesn't think that anyone is watching! Check out that synchronised leg resting, hehe. Also: Pepsi's 29th birthday is on Friday. My mare is looking good!

The show went well, despite an unbelievably crazy thunderstorm on Saturday! We'd seen the clouds approaching and the sky getting darker all morning, and about an hour or so before we were due to go back in the ring for our second demo the skies opened and dumped everything they had on us. It was rain so heavy and fast that it hurt, thunder snarled ( Read more... )

I'm back in Cambridgeshire for the weekend, as I'm working with the Shires tomorrow (riding display in Staffordshire) and it's my grandad's 92nd birthday on Sunday.

And as usually happens when I visit home ... here, have some photos of Pepsi and my cats. :3

It's been a full and busy weekend - best told, I think, through the medium of photos. Also I'm pretty lazy and can't be arsed to type actual words.

Ben and I went back to the 'shire on Saturday, for my dad's birthday party. I took Pepsi out in the morning.

Right - that's my fourth out of six weekends in a row spent in Cambridgeshire over and done with! I did a little work for the Shires on Friday (bathing a couple horses, poo-picking, nothing huge ... y'know, except the horses themselves! Ha) and again today, as we were doing horse 'n' cart rides at the school fete. A little girl asked me if Boy was ( Read more... )
