25th November.

It is a bit grey this morning but the weather man is promising a dryish week. That's good enough.

I need a haircut. Apparently. I have got very woolly. That'll be the cold weathers fault then.

I had a good trot out yesterday, and saw lots of fairly appalling driving of cars!  Patience is required people! Apart from that I enjoyed myself.

21st November

It is quite gloomy today. Less windy than yesterday though. The threat of snow was just that, no snow made it this far south for now. But it is very wet under hoof..........and face/ears/neck when I succumb to the temptation to have a good roll!

Still it is November so the weather is what we expect. As is the dark. Only 4 weeks to the shortest day though, and then it will start getting lighter again!

On a more positive note...the grass is still growing a bit!

15th November

It is cold today. But sunny.

I am surprisingly free of mud. I may need to remedy this during the  day, it is Saturday tomorrow and Simon might be disappointed if there isn't a layer or two mud to brush off!

The weather forecast suggests that sleet might be on the way rather than snow. Better but not good.........

14th November

It is sunny but colder. I think it might get colder still. The sort of weather that is white and begins with S- has been mentioned. I hope not it is a bit early in the winter for this. Any amount of white stuff is not good for the grass that has to last through the winter.

I have new shoes. Andy was here for some time to get everyone done. I thought we may have to put some straw down in a stable for him to sleep on. But he did get to go home eventually!

It is Prince Charles birthday today. I don't think this is an occasion that means the Queens horses have a trot out with their cart though. Still, Happy Birthday!

13th November.

The sun is out, the sky is blue, there's not a cloud to spoil the view!

We are not out. The vee eee tee is coming to stick needles in Silver and Max, and then Andy is coming to sort everyone's feet out. So we all have stay clean.

Still, new shoes! And I am first for feet so I may be allowed out in my field afterwards....

12th November.

Simon appears to have been playing a very large game of snakes and ladders. He says not though. The snakes weren't snakes at all. They were water pipes. This is a good thing as they would have been enormous snakes! The ladders were ladders though.

Anyway, whatever he was doing, he is not doing it today so he is typing!

It is a bit wet in our fields now! It has rained A LOT. Not all the time, there has been some sunshine too but not enough to dry the ground. We have to have our feet hosed off before bed most days. Pheonix has had to have her rug hosed off once or twice too....even I'm not quite that scruffy....in fact yesterday I managed a whole day without rolling in the mud at all.

I probably will have by the time you read this though!
