hello again!

had a good run back, got off the boat about 9 or thereabouts, and was home by 16.45, having gone via a farm outside Doncaster to pick up a new kitten, 9 weeks old (photo when she's settled enough to sit still when a camera is pointed at her!). All black.

Given we were in good time, I went down to see Molly - had thought it would only be possible to talk on the phone, but turned out I could go down.

Gaynor is REALLY pleased I'm back - and whilst she is pleased it is thawing out, she's a bit annoyed it didn't hang around long enough for me to see just how bad it was, LOL.

went in to see molly who was still discussing her tea and not that bothered to see me in consequence.

Gaynor's had them out most days, the only horses on the estate that have been able to go out regularly due to it being no distance from stable to field ...

BUT she says they're both bored rigid due to there being too much snow and no other animals of any sort to be seen (one email whilst i was away, she said Charlie had taken to chasing the pheasants for something to do)

dratted royal mail were meant to have all my post on hold... and still tried to deliver a special delivery item on the 5th; it'll have been sent back to sender by now, drat!

A new kitten! How cute! Yes, pics, please.

Trust Gaynor. It was BAD. She deserves a big "Thank you," for getting your girl out while you were out basking in the sunshine. *G*

Happy to hear you are home safe and sound.

Glad to have you back. I would have liked to see you and Molly talking on the phone.

I hope you have brought some nice weather this way. We are all anxiously waiting to ride again, that is those of us with too little snow to ride in but cold enough for ice and frozen ground.

wasn't me, caroline, it was Allison (who also paid for it all, as i've not got the money!) ... but whether we'd do that again is another matter!
