Holding On To Summer



We're holding on to the remnants of summer - the evenings seem to be drawing in already (which is a bit scary!)...apples are starting to fall from the trees and blackberries are turning from green to black...but the weather is holding out for us with some beautiful sunshine.

Yesterday we managed some autumn "spring" cleaning and had a big attack on cleaning the pea gravel in the barn - it's a great work-out for the muscles between the shoulder blades.  Although we didn't really buy the pea gravel for the purpose of providing bedding, it has turned out to be an added bonus that the ponies do like to use it!  It helps to cut down the cost of the "throw away" bedding but it does take some hard work to get it washed through!  Poor Hazel-Ann had an unfortunate incident during the "normal" daily mucking out when she fell over on the manure heap...a quick change of trousers...and as dedicated as ever she was back to work again!

The second saddle we had listed on ebay had another exciting end to the auction...finishing at just over £86.  Hooray!

Here's some pony photos to enjoy!
