16th May.

Today will either be sunny or wet I think. No middle ground. One thing or the other. I could be a weather forecaster.......it doesn't seem that hard. Simon has told me you can tell a lot by looking at the clouds. If you can see an anvil...there is a storm coming. If you can see mares tails......this isn't going to work.....I can always see mares tails...unless the mares are facing me! We'll stick with the BBC I think.

13th May.

The sun is shining this morning, which is nice, Sunday afternoon was a bit wet and gloomy. We did manage to go out for a trot on the morning though when the sun was shining which was very nice.

Some of our paddocks now look very yellow with buttercups. The buttercups turn your feet yellow when you walk through them, yellow feet is not a look that suits me really!

10th May

It is nearly the weekend again. It has come around quickly this week because there were less days at work!

It is a bit grey this morning, but we were at least all in our stables last night whilst it was wild, wet and windy. Still, the rain makes the grass grow and there are no biting midges today so no need for fly sheets and masks which is nice.

9th May.

The sun was shining this morning at breakfast time and now it is a bit cloudy. But windy so it might not rain!

I have new shoes.

There are a lot of buttercups in the fields now. They look nice but you can't eat them....well you could....but they don't taste very nice.

Some of the Queen's horses had a trot out in their cart yesterday. They took the Queen to Parliament. I haven't been there in my cart. I have been to the Garden Centre and I have been to Sainsburys which is probably as good.

8th May.

The sunshine has gone. It is a bit grey and damp, but not really cold. There are less biting flies though which is nice.

Andy is coming today with new shoes for me and Bubbles, four for me and two for Bubbles who only has them on her front feet. How exciting!

7th May.

What a lovely weekend!

Simon had finally mended ALL the holes in the tyre on the cart and we could go out! We had tow excellent trots out. Yesterday we went out through both Letcombes and around to Childrey, this is quite a long way and uses up quite a bit of shoes! I presume Andy must be coming this week with new ones, otherwise we wouldn't have gone so far.

I had a bath afterwards, and a wash with shampoo...Sainsburys Basic.....no expense spared!

The sun is shining again and Simon is at work so I shall spend the day eating grass and sleeping in the sun. Tomorrow I think it may rain, but this will keep the grass growing!
