Pony Driving End 2 End

22nd Apr Maintenance day  ! Basil , Felix and William all had new back shoes courtesy of Euan Ross a farrier from Fort William. Really appreciated on his day off. Sorry to say the shoes lasted just 5 days. Felix seems better today, so will take him quietly tomorrow and keep an eye on him. Been able to do washing - Wilf has made friends with the tame lamb in the paddock next to us. Tim and Lindsey joined us for most of the day and Tim and Kevin along with phone support from Devon tried to solve some of our electrical problems.  We have all had a kiss and cuddle with Kevin to get him through what should have been Sam's birthday. Not much rain today - probably saving it all up to give us tomorrow. Although Carol tells us it's going to be showery all this week and getting warmer from next weekend.  Tim wanted to go off deer stalking with the farrier! Abi put makeup on today as she had spare time ! We all  had  wonderful long hot showers, Pip and Heather had a bike ride on the cycle path that goes through the farm. We went out for a Sam roast supper with a Jack Daniels toast to start and apple crumble with  custard to finish to celebrate Sam's birthday with a RAINBOW over the mountains to look out apon. Pips first words " Lovely roast dinner...YES, no washing up !!!!!
