We've moved again

So just when we thought we were settled for a little while, our landlord went and put our flat in Odiham up for sale. 8 weeks later and we are in the process of moving four houses, and two miles, up the road.

Our new address is:
3 Stapley Farm Cottage
Long Lane
Odiham
RG29 1JE

As soon a BT have worked where we live, they have promised to even give us a phone number.

We now have room to swing a cat, spare room, garden and a wee jaunt across the field to The Chequers at Well. All of this adds up to the fact that we are awaiting guests, so see you soon.

Back to work

It's not just me that's back to work, Bea and the boys have ended their winter holidays and is time to start working off their grass bellies! Bea did a wonderful impression of a rodeo horse when I first got back on board, but after a week of hacking, she is back to work. I think having two months off could have done her good.

Has 14 months off done me any good? Only time will tell, but it feels good to be back in the saddle! A great local project with a client and team that I know, so I couldn't ask for more.

And now the yard is full to the brim, George is also working flat out with a lot of help from all, including the small furry ones!

All clear again

So I've had the latest PET scan and blood test results back this afternoon and it's all good news. Unbeknown to me, I still have a small plumb sized lump where the huge cancerous grapefruit was, but it's all dead and getting smaller. So that's just confirmed for another 3 months that I have survived the big C!

The yard is virtually full with the last livery arriving on the weekend. An now the snow has departed along with the groundworkers, the mud is drying out fast. So looking forward to banishing it for good.

Odiham's new arrivals

Just before we have our own arrivals on the farm, RAF Odiham took delivery of the not-so-shiny-and-new MK3 Chinooks. So the boy's were obviously out to see what these more powerful and quieter battle busses could do. How do those thinks stay in the air??

Needless to say, our boys and girl out in the field beneath them, didn't raise an eyebrow as the grass is just too tasty!

Westfield Equestrian

We will not be beaten by the snow.

The brickie and his trusty foreman (Charlie) continued building the stable fronts this week once the antifreeze had been added to the mortar, this is not usual for our temperate isle!

Helped by the dogs we warmed up the batteries and fired up the laser to guide the excavators while leveling the new manége, in this weather all those litle jobs seem to be taking so much longer, but hey, it's all happening. And with arrivals at the end of the month, we can't let the wonderful british weather hold us back!
