terrible

I've been a terrible blogger. I have excuses, but it all comes down to me not being inspired to write when I'm finished my day's work.

I spent a weekend in Boston with an old school friend, then I went to Montreal for a weekend, then my boyfriend came to visit and the Canadian family went to HK, leaving me with sole charge of not only the 11 horses but their 5 year old son as well!! I spent the mornings working the horses, the afternoons sightseeing and the evenings amusing the child. Then my Mum came to visit and my boyfriend went home, repeat for another week, then the Canadians came home and my Mum and I got outta there for a holiday, which hasn't been relaxing, but has at least given me a few lie ins and chance to eat some delicious food, although I have had the most nagging and annoying cold for over 3 weeks now.

The last thing I wanted to do was sit and write about how horses were going!

Next Tuesday, I'm back to the day job. Tomorrow I'm going to buy some Sorel boots to continue my preparation for winter. When I was in Vermont I went to Tractor Supply and bought a real nice Carhartt jacket for around the barn, so I'm getting there...
