Au revoir

Up early this morning to take Mum, Dad and Thomas to the airport.  I returned home with a heavy heart. The house is empty and I miss them already.
I feel I should return to doing something with the horses, but I'm very reluctant to do so. It's a worry - I can't seem to find any fun in it these days. When did it stop being fun?
Horses fill my life, I love them, but it has to be fun.  Perhaps it really is time to stop.

Knitting , X Box - what's that all about ?

We've got my parents and nephew here for christmas.It was a bit touch and go with the weather being so bad in the Uk,but the gods smiled on us and kept the airports open! It's great to have them here, but difficult to find things to keep them occupied, it's a little quiet here for townies. My mum's a little bored and has already knitted one scarf. She's started on another, doesn't like the wool so the job's now fallen to me to finish it. It's a very long time since I knitted anything, but I think I can manage a scarf!
Jim's decided he wants an X Box (Why?????)  so we're waiting for that to arrive along with several games. I suppose it'll keep his mind active. Thomas (nephew) is 'well pleased' and we're having to track it's every movement online.
The horses are taking a back seat, but they seem to be enjoying themselves out 24/7

Thomas

I lunged Anky this morning, took Remy for a walk through the wood and continued with Bonbon's early lunge training. All good!
It's so hot and heavy though, wish it would break.
I found this while cleaning the barn out ready for the hay, it's just a kids toy pistol that we bought for Thomas the first time he came out to visit, he was just a boy. I only see him now on facebook and in such a short time he's grown up. I miss him!

Thomas Arrives

Thomas is my nephew and he has come over for a few days. He's growing up so quickly and it's so good to see him. Jim has lots of jobs to keep him busy.
I didn't have much time this morning, lots to do, so I didn't ride Anky but did some flexions in the stable at halt. I can't believe how relaxed she was, very active in her mouth and some very good flexions to both sides. I think she's really starting to get it now.
