... but if they did, they still wouldn't be as cool as my yard!
I'm very sadly leaving my beloved yard sometime within the next week/week and a half, so last night they threw a bit of a leaving do for me. Had a bbq (in the rain... Clare'd be a great county if we could only roof her), drank a disgraceful amount, stuck on music and danced around like idiots, exchanged presents etc. Myself and YM had a bit of a cry - she cried to me that I was like an adopted daughter/best friend/sister all rolled into one, which got me bawling! Don't want to think about how much I'm going to miss her
Can't believe I've only been there 5 months, feel like I've been there forever. Such an amazing, generous, talented, crazy, fun group of people. Nothing is too much trouble for them - their support and generosity has been absolutely staggering. I did some photography/design work for them (intended to do it as payment/thanks for everything they've done for me) but was given a new rug, girth, headcollar and hat as a thank you! We've been on several yard trips to horsey events, we go for breakfast once a week together, ride out and school together, had some great nights out and some of the funniest times I've ever had have been with them! Made so many memories in such a short space of time.
They bought me a hipflask "for those cold winter rides" with a lovely personalised engraving
Woke up this morning on YO's sofa underneath a curtain with a kitten dangling a spider over my face and a greyhound eating my shoe, found YM asleep in a stable (to date missing a shoe), supermegafriend missing presumed collected by sympathetic husband. Went out to do horses/greet customers to farm shop in maxi-dress, waterproof jacket and hob-nailed boots with dishevelled hair, smeared make-up. Don't know whether customers or horses were more disturbed
Then we all went on one last (very gentle and hungover) emotional hack together. Big load of soft cheeses that we are!
Love that yard, going to miss them all SO much. There will be more tears when I actually load up Knobberts and leave. Was bawling just writing their thank-you cards/wrapping their presents! I'm sure the new yard will be lovely, but I don't think I'll ever find another place quite like this one
Can offer loads of bbq goodies (inc YM's amazing pavlova and my home-made tiffin) left for any reads... though not much booze made it out untouched
