I did!!
Fabulous day. Lorenzo was great and Laura's test was amazing.
Bought a new body protector and some presents.
Got home at half twelve so feeling a bit knackered today

Yes, OMG wasn't it fantastic. From where I was sitting Laura's test looked near on perfect. I love Alfies presence - I think he knows he's special. It was the first time I've seen Charlotte ride and she is so so talented and I think if it wasn't for a few minor mistakes and Valegro's initial nerves she could have easily got higher marks than Laura? Also Carl's horse Uthopia is only 9 years old, and was the youngest horse competing and he came 3rd - We've got more to see from Uthopia as well! I loved it.
Shopping was good as usual, lots of gorgeous things. I fell in love with Dianne Hennchen's art, so I bought all my Christmas pressies from her
I also bought one of those hair removing tools, for dog and horse hairs, and some bits; a nathe which I want to use on the boy's lunging bridle, and a hanging cheek snaffle
My only slight downer of the whole night was when I got accosted by the Chinese ladies who were selling nail art, and I tried to tell them I wasnt interested, but she wouldnt let go of my hand and I was surprised by her aggressive sales tactics. (I was also slightly embarrassed as my hand's have already succumbed to the effects of scrubbing feed & water bowls out in freezing winter water....) Then she tried to sell me a pot of nail varnish for £40! I told her I'd be better spending that on a pair of sealskinz gloves
