Vide Grenier

I had a day off from the horses today, hehe, well , they had a day off from me!!
I went to to Brantome with Bev to the vide grenier (empty attic), think car boot/jumble sale, where the french try to sell all their old junk for ridiculous prices.
We had a great day, ahem, buying old junk, a truly french 2 hour leisurely lunch and a good natter. The scene was perfectly French, right down to the street singer/hurdy gurdy man who was great, albeit a little freaky!

Brantome



We had a good day out yesterday with Mum and Dad, we went to Brantome, a beautiful town surrounded by the river Dronne.
It was market day and there was a lovely atmosphere

We had lunch out at a lovely cafe by the river, it was a really lovely day.


The horses had a day off and were all well when we returned. Anky seems to have renewed appetite and I hate to tempt fate but she really does seem to be improving. As we put them out in the field last night, she did an almost normal poo ( not the kind of thing that makes good blogging, I know, but it made my day!) and set off with Remy down the bottom field. I may be wrong, but I swear she had a swing in her step!

Today we hacked out, she seemed less distant, more involved somehow and she certainly was more relaxed through her body.
