9th October

It was REALLY dark this morning. It was so dark tha tSimon got lost. He fed Summer and Phoenix and then set off in the wrong direction with my breakfast. This was worrying. He did realise he was going the wrong way otherwise my breakfast couild have ended up anywhere!

It is a little cooler and the weather man says it is going to get much colder. Like-winter colder. Bbbbrrrrr.

7th October

It is very autumnal. At breakfast time it was very dark, I was still asleep, the tawney owls were towit-too-wooing, the barn owl was squeaking and there was mist in the tops of the lime trees. Then just as it got "light" there was mist everywhere! It has cleared now though. It is quite sunny!

All that said, the leaves are not only still on the trees but quite green still.

I will go now and eat grass and make the most of not having to look for it under leaves........

4th October

It didn't rain as much last night as we all thought. Still, we all had a nice night in our stables anyway.  It not raining much does mean there is not  much in the way of mud. Which I had sort of been looking forward to  rolling in! Perhaps It could rain in one corner of my field...just to make a little bit of mud...but not every where....that would keep everyone happy!

The weekend is approaching so I am looking forward a trot out in the cart with my new shoes. Some persons have dug holes in Mill Street so we won't be able to go up or down there!

3rd October

It is once again a bit grey and gloomy. And I think we are going to get a bit wet later...maybe we will go in our stables...

Andy came yesterday with new shoes for me and for Max. Max found this all quite exciting! I am sure the novelty will wear off.

Simon has tidied up the yard with the strimmer....well....actually he UNTIDIED the yard with the strimmer because there were bits of nettle, dock and grass everywhere when he had finished. THEN he tidied up the yard with a brooooom ( maybe too many o's). He'll learn.

1st October

Ha ha! 2 days running! No one will have been expecting this.....

It is a bit gloomy but dry. It is October...so definately Autumn now. In spite of this, and a dryish summer, the leaves are doing a good job of sticking to the trees! It won't be long before we have to look for the grass under them I think.

Silver and Max have their pictures in what Simon calls "Rogues Gallery". I don't know what a rogue is, it doesn't sound like a compliment, but then I'm not it it so I don't mind!!!

30th September

I AM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't actually been anywhere, well not anywhere unusual at least, but I mean my musings are back. Simon has been struggling to get the musings typed up, and then got distracted by making it all look different which got in the way for a bit. Anyway I like the new look, though it is only a look, in that it looks like grass but doesn't taste like grass! (luckily computers are wipe-clean).

There are some new faces at the farm since Bubbles departure. Ed the tall horse didn't stay long, and now Max has come to join us. Max looks a bit like Silver only much bigger. This can be confusing in a "Is that Silver, very close, or Max, far away?" kind of way. I will get Simon to add their pictures to "My Friends, and make sure he labels them!

See you tomorrow!

5th August.

Sunshine and showers again today! This is most agreeable weather...warm enough....and wet enough to stick the dust together. And I think we all know what you can do with dust that is stuck together...yes....ROLL IN IT! So I have been....quite a lot. I had a extra bath on Friday ready for the weekend and was briefly very clean, but I managed to be black all over again before Simon was ready for a trot out in the cart. Which meant a hose down before going out! I had a good trot round though so it was worth it!
