Good aren't they?

Hi, how are you, not sleeping again? Or am I up so late that you have just clocked on VERY early in the morning? I make it about 4am on your mountain (as I type anyway)
The clocks in the UK haven't gone forwards yet have they?

Morning hunni.

Have you melted yet?

Yup, hubby snoring again

I absolutely dont agree with violence, but this is 5 nights on the trot now and my bags are getting baggier

Busy day ahead ... instructor coming so is girl who rides the shire plus vet and I have to roll the school before 9am !

Got to go to Claytons later ... anything I can get you ?

Good Morning Helen,

Ohhh yes, we've melted big style, from 6" to nothing in 24 hours. I have mud and a winter paddock that is full of 8 weeks worth of muck (can't poo pick when the stuff is either frozen to the ground or disguised as a snowball!

) All I can see from my kitchen window is poo, so guess what I'm doing tomorrow. Today was spent picking up 2 months worth of dog mess.....yuk!

I thought we were going to float away Ark style yesterday as the culverts were blocked and the garden flooded!

Have they still got the geese at Claytons?(They would have been very happy here)..... and yes, I'd like some purple Tynes, size 5 if they have them please, I punctured mine yesterday.

I have got to get some sleep, otherwise I can't clean up tomorrow and if I don't do that I can't go to London to see this: www.canamequine.ca on Friday. I feel a shopping spree coming on

Talk about the world shrinking, within an hours travel I have Burford, Norwich, Delhi, Scotland, Cambridge, Boston, Paris and London

No Welsh names though.

What can I get you ?

Hah! Just realised, random thought here, on HHO you are a YO on a North American forum you'd be a BO

GoodNight, I really need to get some sleep, that's once I've retrieved my dozy Shepherd pup, last seen asleep on the doorstep being drizzled on, Boston, bless him, is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Jade, apologies for hi-jacking, sorry.
