Veggies, Hats and Mr and Mrs Frog

Good sessions today with both Anky and Remy. Same as yesterday with Remy, practised the giravolta on both reins, which he seems to be understanding well. Started lunge work at walk around the perimeter of the picadero, good on the left rein, but was a bit confused on the right rein and kept coming in on a small circle around me. Jim walked on the outside for a while and he seemed to "get"it.
Lunged Anky in the school, she's started stretching more over her back and today she seemed tuned in to me, we walked and trotted on both reins and she was really responsive to my body movements.

We've started getting quite a lot of veggies from our little plot so today I thought I'd take some piccys.




We've picked the onions and garlic, but we have tomatoes, beetroot, peas, beans, carrots, cabbage, rhubarb, raspberries (we've eaten all the strawbs and because I've been so lazy they've been overun with weeds :-( )

We have, melons, pumpkins, peppers, squash, potatoes (although, they don't look too good) and fennel.

I can't take any of the credit, Jim does the veggie plot. The only things that I do are the strawbs and the garlic!!

It's been so hot here recently so today Jim bought me a ventilated riding hat. Yipeee.


We were hosing down the terrace tonight and suddenly an enormous frog pushed it's way out of the drain hole closely followed by it's mate. The first frog had to dash for cover, but as you can see, it's mate stayed put!!
