Happy Boxing Day! Well, I'm back in Blighty - just. Arrived back here on the 23rd Dec amongst some very thick fog, so spent my first hour back in the country circling round Gatwick waiting for a "slot" to land. The following couple of hours were spent trying to avoid the accidents on the M25 caused by said-fog. What a welcome home!
One good thing about being back is that I have a better connection! Which means I have to upload this blog, on average, just the once. Hurrah!
So what about my final days at the ranch? Well, I tried to soak up as much of my surroundings as I could. The volunteers managed to blag ourselves a "volunteers only" ride which was good fun - a chance for us to not have to be polite to guests, ride where we want to, at the speed we want to. And good fun was had by all! Here we are on our trusty horses.....
(L to R: me on Remington, Kate on Tahono, Ines on Pistol and Marie on Cash)
As you can see, in my last few days the weather @ the ranch was truly awful and I'm glad to be back here in the damp fog.
I don't think I have yet told you about my day at the golf course! It should have been just a couple of hours at the golf course but due to my truly awful golfing skills, our 9 hole round turned out to be quite traumatic. Especially for the 2 rather professional looking men who were constantly having to wait for me to finish each hole before they could take their turn.
So here I am, feeling very positive and happy about my forthcoming debut on the golf course:
Just look at the expert way I'm holding my stick! So, it's a 9 hole course, each hole with a par of 3 or 4. I managed to lose 5 balls, one in someone's garden and 4 in the pond. The ducks were not happy with me.
