Thank you everyone, it's so comforting to read the things you've said. My eyes feel sore. I wish I had been with him at the end, but, at least, my friend was - and it was quite quick.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Busy-Lizzie. very sorry to hear about your old horse. You can only be grateful that it was quick and painless at the end, I suppose. I'm dreading the same thing with HRH who seems to be failing slowly.
DD, my thoughts are with you. Been there and done that (in 1971) and have had a really good life since. Just keep strong and look after your little one (as I already know you are doing). Sometimes the choices we make as young people dont still suit us when we get a bit older.
I'm so sorry Busy. They do leave a hole when they go but I hope soon you'll be able to think about the happy memories more than his parting.
DD - chin up. Stay strong and please, be firm but not aggressive about negotiations unless and until he starts to wriggle - and be prepared for him wriggling out of his financial responsibilities.
Did you get the postcards? I posted them last Thursday.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

So sorry to read your news Busy. Animals know when they are loved and I have no doubt whatsoever that your horse and friend had a fabulous life with you. Lots of love and hope that you get comfort from wonderful happy memories x
