[Wintervt]

Hi Barb,

[Barbteeth in reply to Wintervt]

I feel tired and have poor appetite but today was a good day so hence the ride out...went quite a way and had a lovely canter

Probably suffer tomorrow!!

Oh that's is such a beautiful photo. Thank you Barb.

[MacroMom]

Lovely photo and perspective, so glad you feel like riding again!

[Pbsoup]

BEST view ever--between your pony's ears! So glad you felt up to riding. And that your barn isn't closed during the lock down.

[Barbteeth in reply to Pbsoup]

We’re quite fortunate that nobody has stopped us riding...we only have two people on the yard at the same time and we all ride alone...I don’t see a problem with that as long as you’re sensible...I wouldn’t ride a young horse or jump anything in case of accidents...but you can have an accident in the house or fall off a pushbike

[Pbsoup in reply to Barbteeth]

Ha. It’s turkey mating time and they are all over. I’ve had two pop up out of the grass right in front of us when we’re back in the fields. Liam was a good boy about it though. So glad you’re riding!!!!

[Barbteeth in reply to Pbsoup]

We have loads of pheasants around here and they flutter up and make a horrible noise..Bugsys quite used to them but sometimes he spooks at them.... I sometimes do roadwork and he’s very good in traffic ...buses fire engines no problem but it’s the little things that scare him like pushchairs...funny how they think

[PLASEM]

That is wonderful that you could do that

[Barbteeth in reply to PLASEM]

Yes I really enjoyed it and Bugsy was well behaved

Other days I’m in too much pain so I grab the opportunity when I can

The weather helped!!

Hi Barb,

I'm so glad you out with Bugsy. He must have appreciated it too! There's nothing quite like getting out in nature. I hope you're not paying the price for it today though.

Hi Sophie

Actually I’m not too bad today...been riding again but not for long...Bugsys had a bath and his mane pulled...spa day!!!.. new summer coat pushing through now...he looks stunning in summer

Barb xx

[Hidden in reply to Barbteeth]

Hi Barb!

That’s really good news. I bet Bugsy enjoyed his “spa” experience!

Sophie 💓

[Hidden]

Looks wonderful. I’m jealous. 😀❤️

[Rotagirl]

What a lovely picture and I love bluebells. Thanks for sharing. Keep safe and well, (as well as can be expected!). Fay

[Julie2233]

Lovely picture, so glad you managed to get out.

I love photographing the bluebells each spring and was feeling quite sad that I won't be able to this year. But clearing some of the overgrowth in the garden, I found a small patch of bluebells which must have self seeded under the weeds. Really cheered me up 😊

[Barbteeth in reply to Julie2233]

And they smell heavenly 😁

Sounds like a very nice time. That nice spring air. Elixir for the soul. I am sure Bugsy enjoyed it too with his old pal on board. We here in Central Ontario are going to get our first real brush with spring this weekend. Temperatures going up at least for a couple of days. Southern Ontario had the Cherry blossoms last week but then snow this week. (albeit light). My oldest daughter sent me two lovely saucer shaped planters of pansies in the purple and yellow. Have had to keep them on the porch under the wicker furniture because of the cold nights but this coming week I can put them out.

Here's wishing you some more nice rides.

Cheers, June S.

[Barbteeth in reply to 8576]

Thank you June...roll on spring for you...your lovely flowers will give you a lift

[hdhonda]

[Red71]

Sounds like a great day! I hope you aren’t paying the price today. It’s so nice when we can string a couple of good days together. Elaine

[Barbteeth in reply to Red71]

Hi Elaine

Nice to hear from you, Barb ♥️

[Hidden]

Well done Barb. We need our outdoors so much. It looks lovely. We managed to go to the allotment really early yesterday so we missed any other folks that may appear and decide to have a long chat. A no go right now. It was wonderful. The sun on the Welsh Mountains, birds singing and a gentle warm breeze. We even managed to plant some veg. Keep the photos up. Love seeing them. Cheryl

[Barbteeth in reply to Hidden]

Nature therapy!!..can’t beat it..not nice today though ☹️

I love Wakes...my first job when I qualified was in a practice in Aberdare and my nurse could speak Welsh!!

I lived in Cardiff though but moved jobs soon after as my hubby finished as UWIST but I loved the people I worked with...very friendly
