Every girl loves getting new shoes and Sara is no exception. Tom came on Friday to give her a new set.
She had lost one the previous Sunday so we have had yet another week off. But now we are ready to go again and the weather over the weekend was horrendous. Yesterday I was quite busy with all those things that get in the way of what you really want to do but we managed a quick lap round the village.
What with being in the middle of a mega season and full of spring grass she felt a bit like a time bomb ready to explode but I managed to keep to a lively walk . We even managed a couple of brief stops at road junctions.
Most of the traffic we met was considerate although we did meet one woman who seemed to want us on her bonnet. Yes I would normally pull over to let you pass dear but I didn't trust Sara to stand still. The ensuing exchange of pleasantries was watched by a gentleman standing on the corner and as I passed him he said' ' Well done'.
My thanks to all the considerate drivers out there and a word to the others. If the person on the horse asks you to slow down there is probably a good reason. We are not all stuck up and think we own the road we are just trying to preserve our and our horses skins. Even if you don't like horses just think of the damage that they can do to your car!
