Well it’s a very hectic week... I have been puzzling over possible yard opening and house warming party dates for months and eventually settled for Sunday 20th June for both in order to kill two birds with one stone. It’s a rare occasion all my housemates are around (very important to have plenty of slave labour!) and it is also Adlestrop village open day.

A weekend date is not good for eventers as many will be at Longleat or Catton, but then weekdays don’t suit those with more normal jobs, so I can’t win either way! I am also in the midst of sorting drinks and nibbles and spotless ponies, I hope! Just to ensure I don’t have a spare minute I am also running three horses in the Novice at Longleat on Saturday and I'm accompanying George with his owner Nina to run in the BE100 on Friday!

At least I got my new computer yesterday (my old one broke definitively months ago...) so I am trying to catch up with my blog, update my website and print off photos for the horses’ stables!
