Morning Rubee & Hazel, Hazel it’s surprising how you’ve only got involved in gardening yourselves later on you’ve grown beautiful flowers 🙂 My OH does not garden at all, but thankfully he is a very good handyman. Rubee sorry you’ve had a restless night I hope all is well with OH, sun is shining so hope to get outdoors today have a good day.
Well car has been dropped off and Stuart, the mechanic drove me back home. He was one of the two guys who came and sorted out the flat battery for me and he was asking how the car had been since then. All I have to do now is wait.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Good morning to all. LB, we have very similar life story. It is indeed most rewarding when you cook your own veggies and when you know how to cook them.
Hazel, good luck with plumber. I could really use your rain. Forecast says that we will have heavy storm tomorrow afternoon. I don't looking forward if it will be high wind and hail.
Rubee, sorry to hear about your disturbed night. Try to have a rest during day.
Thank you all for the kind words but I don't think yet about marriage. In a few days I'll be 32 and think that I still have more time to do this.
Chive, another similarity with you. I had a passion for horses too and rode a lot. I am happy that I can bask in my niece-in-law's fame as she schools and shows horses. Both my teeny tiny great nephews have ridden her ponies since they were old enough to walk. Thelwell comes into mind!

Morning Ante, fingers crossed the forecast weather doesn’t create problems for you tomorrow. You’re a young man there’s no rush to settle down, just enjoy life, LB I Love the Thelwell pictures 😀 Well done to your niece-in-law what a fabulous career, that can’t be easy to manage. Your great nephews will be accomplished riders. Did you compete? I only took part in Gymkhanas, but loved the experience.
Chive, I never took part in any shows. I just rode as and when I could. Believe it or not my niece-in-law took her first son with her to Olympia when he was only a few months old and they slept in the horse box. He is completely fearless around the horses and they seem to love him too. She has an old pony called Shorty who has taught dozens of youngsters to ride. All her horse are stabled at her Mum's as she has the space and Shorty has been known to come into the kitchen there to help himself to anything edible on the work surface. He is very cute.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Morning everyone. We've had loads of rain here and the garden is looking better for it. I've a lousy headache but Hubby is out fetching me some painkillers so hopefully it will be gone soon.
I had a real passion for horses when I was a child but we were not in a position to afford horse riding lessons so I just read everything I could about them and used to spend hours drawing them. Both the girls went riding as children and loved it, they used to spend all Saturday helping at the riding school to get extra lessons. Neither parent was particularly interested in gardening and I don't remember my grandparents so I was a definite self-starter. My dad never did so much as boil a kettle, he used to call mum in to stir his tea and change the tv over and I was expected to make sure he and my brother had everything they wanted. Needless to say it didn't end up that way and I was considered a real rebel by my brother and sister. Both my girls have been brought up to be independent, self reliant and appreciative of what they have.
Heavy REAL rain drumming peacefully on the roof and running down the gutters! YAY! It has been a long wait.. The trouble in Ireland is that once it starts it tends to find it hard to stop... But glorious and cooler.
Hazel hope you went back to sleep. LB, Chive horses are such beautiful animals. island, Yvie hope your headaches go soon. A little warmer today. More on the news re the algorithm of ofqual have used and the disappointing results. I do hope this will be rectified by the govmt.
