No CC to add but just thought I'd say how much I've missed your reports and hope you are feeling back on form soon and the leg heals quickly.
Plus since there doesn't seem to be any chocolate on this thread yet (I haven't read the whole thing ;)) I can offer Minstrels and frozen Mars bars :p :D!
Quite an eventful year! But some fantastic results and glad to hear you have decided to keep Jem, looking forward to reading about her Novice debut and Haribo's BE debut :).
I forgot to add the other day that a friend ate quite a bit of raw cake mixture (not sure how she managed with the raw...
Ouch :(, sounds really painful! Fingers crossed things goes to plan and it doesn't need plating.
In terms of food, how about custard? My brother lost a couple of teeth playing hockey and lived off the stuff for a few weeks along with lots of yoghurts.
Is Kelsall an option as the ground there held up pretty well when I went to the PC champs despite heavy rain the whole weekend! Have you entered anywhere else this season or not?
Poo :( was really looking forward to going to watch! It was looking that way though so at least they've cancelled earlier than later. Must be very disappointing for the organisers having to cancel 3 days this year though.
For those interested I went down to Kelsall for the PC Champs a few weeks...

We have one we bought as an ex-Demo from Renault 7 years ago and (touch wood) we have never had any problems apart from batteries and fuel filter, Charlimouse has one aswell iirc :).
I have this exact problem but I have 3 to sell before I go to uni, I have one just like yours but I'm finding it impossible to sell and I thought she'd be easy to sell tbh. My problem is that I live in the middle of nowhere and everyone thinks it must be miles away even if it isn't actually that...
Todburn at Morpeth have one but the rest of the course isn't particularly impressive imo, Foxberry have had previously so it might be worth giving them a ring and Craven have had in the past too and I'm sure if you ring you'll be able to find out if they do now as well :).
Lovely photo of the pair of them :) and it's interesting to see your plan for his rehab as mine did something very similar at the beginning of the year but we are going for the full year of walking. Fortunately though she has been so chilled that she's turned out in an arena sized paddock and...
