Horsing around in the borders



A welcome mid-week day off meant a day trip to Paxton near Berwick upon Tweed today with a visit to Aunty Diane and Uncle Bob's house.
That's Aunty Diane on the left her horse Jeffrey. Not much time for a ride, but a quick hello, a nice groom and some fussing left Jeff a handsome happy chappy.



There was also a surprise visit to Aunty Diane's friend down the road, where I was introduced to a slightly smaller variety. Meet Flora ('Miss Independence', born on July 4th). She was just two weeks old but bold as brass and gorgeous!










I had a great day off all in all: What with jam-making, horse/foal visiting, rabbit playing (featuring Benny the Bunny), cups of tea with the family and general horse play it was a very successful day off. Thanks Aunty Diane!
