Oh my.
Well for the ****ty week I've had this week, that's just all been made bearable from that ride I'm just recovering from XD Pmsl.
Well. To cut a long story short, Car written off = No means of transport currently! And we needed shopping, to well, eat! LOL.
So. We're in the middle of no-where pretty much, and nearest shop is in Lynham [10 min drive or so].
Anywho. K was contemplating walkiing to Lynham to get the shopping...which is a bloody long way to walk and caused me to stare at her like she's gone bonkers.
So I was like 'Erm....Ride there?'
So. We did.
Had a quick look on Google maps to see what fields to cut across to get there, luckily enough, there is a bridlepath right to there from us! And a lovely bridlepath it is too! All lovely ground and managed to go at a decent speed most the way to save time.
So then ended up in Lynham about 30-40mins later, after guessing the route [My guessed directions were right for the first time ever!]. Held a fair bit of a traffic up
riding through the main road and then pulled up in Co-op car park....In a proper parking space,out the way as much as we could! Then I held the horses as K went in to sort the shopping out.
Shopping done. Now had to contemplate getting back on, loaded with shopping bags. LOL.
Split the bags between us, and loaded the small stuff into her many pockets in her big wax jacket....looking completely like a terrorist and not the best look to have in Lynham I'm guessing!
Anywho. Got back and had our hack back through Lynham, receiving MANY bemused looks from drivers and passers-by I might add!
Bear in mind, I was on the tiny little pony and K was on Hairy cob. LOL. Not looking like any sterotypes there.....
We were in hysterics at this point the whole way through.
Anyway XD Got back on the bridle way eventually and I thought to save time lets canter back now we were on fields....which, easy as it was going, proved somewhat more difficult when loaded with shopping bags coming back!!!
So anyway, decided sod it, so chicken, mince, milk, sugar and all, went for a merry little canter back. LOL. Steering was at a loss but thankfully it was a straight field. Pmsl.
The horses, thankgod, didn't give two hoots about being loaded up like pack ponies and having flapping bags being carried above them!
Final field opened up into a really nice soft strip so we got a bit carried away [over major giggles!] and ended up having a race back for the final one. Bags and all still.
And finally arrived back on the yard....luckily to no questions as to why we returned larded with shopping!
Pmsl.
And that was my afternoon XD
Another legend hack. Haha!
