The Rain It Raineth Every Day
I know all I do is complain about the weather but honestly, it hasn’t stopped raining for months now (or at least it feels like that). We all live in a state of permanent mud, wet clothes/ha…

Lambie does love a biscuit. His very own special one.
Another Bed Saga
A few days ago, there was the most God-almighty full on dog fight. It was not pretty and both dogs were equally to blame. Apparently, it was about the new dog-bed and it’s accompanying little…

Some still fighting over the new dog bed.
Disappointed
There are actually not enough Tunnocks teacakes (the dark chocolate ones) in the world for how I feel today. This morning I phoned the Pain Clinic to see what time to turn up on Monday for my much-…

I've taken to my bed. Feeling utterly disheartened and miserable.

Tiny Little Signs
This morning while feeding everyone, I heard birds singing and I realised I hadn’t heard them in a while and I had been missing them. They were very loud and happy. I got out my phone and, u…

I know we are in deepest darkest winter but....... I've seen snowdrops!
The Family Photograph
My morning’s after-breakfast job was to try and sort out OH’s ancient but much-loved (and now fully backed up, yay!) Macbook which had gone on the fritz again. I thought I had mended it…

Finally, I took the family photograph.

Ice and Ponies
Today we have ice. And I made a very short Mindfulness film complete with music. All 30 seconds! Enjoy and meditate, but be quick! Since seeing the soggy little Shetland ponies in their shed yest…

Lots of ice today and the Shetland ponies are floofy.
The Best Rugs
Not much has happened today, which as you know, is how I and my back like it. No drama, no fuss. Everyone behaved at breakfast and that always makes life simple. Afterwards, I spent my morning on…

You get what you pay for (horse rugs, that is).
We’re Not Talking to Pepper
No one is talking to little Miss Pepperpot this evening. Not even her BFF, Monster. I know Pepper was with me this morning as she helped me make Flossie’s bed for her return home tomorrow to …

Evil wee dog.
One Arrives, One About to Leave
It’s been an exhausting day for everyone. We were up an hour early to do the animals and then I drove to the airport to collect Flossie, who is taking over from Daisy (98 mile round trip). Me…

One daughter going, and the other arrives - to help me in my hour(s) of need.
Out For The Day
Having got all my ducks in a row (ie fed and watered everyone), I wanted a proper day out. A day away from everything and everyone of nagging animal type. So, we made a plan, which meant that Floss…

A day away from the animals.
To Infinity And Beyond…..
I know that my sheep are living in far-flung places, like Australia, Japan, America, etc but I have one very special sheep who lives on my friend’s desk at NASA, Houston. How cool is that? …

One of my sheep travels around NASA.

Back in my shed
I haven’t been inside my little craft shed since before Christmas and in my absence it has managed to fall to pieces. The roof is leaking and the rain has done damage. I am very upset, well…

I've been neglectful.
My Obsession
As some of you may already know, I like to obsess. My current obsession is rugs. Today we swapped all the Shetland ponies’ (Vitamin, Fivla and Tiddles) rugs for dry rugs and I thought to mys…

What to do? Any suggestions?
Just Rainy Day Stuff
There’s not much going on here but here are a few photos from my day. Ever feel you’re being watched? No, seriously, do you? Don’t ever try and mend anything or work at our kitche…

My Winter Horse Keeping Method
The old folk – that is Haakon, Kolka, Iacs, Vitamin and Fivla – are doing well. They live at the bottom of a rather steep and slippery hill in the field that is inside the track. This …

This is my winter method of horsecare.
