1. I went horse-riding with Ria, through the fields along the River Trent. It was as exhilarating as ever. I rode a horse called Worzel. He has a crewcut and is a bad ass horse. I rode him for the first time last time I went and he did keep me on my toes. I am quite new to the equestrian life. He wanted to race with the all the other horses, and I did not, but I kind of did, so we did, and I managed to stay on, but only just. This week I rode him again and felt like I was getting a better raport with him, which meant I didn't fear for my life quite so much. The thing is, the fear for my life is one of the main things I like about horseriding.
2. It was great to see Ria really getting the hang of the rising trot and getting a buzz for riding like I do. She was sooooo great just giving it all a go and eventually getting a few steps of canter. I love that she loves it.
3. My friend came over for a massage and I was able to help her in her time of sadness. And even though she's in the thick of it at the moment, she helped me.
4. I taught two small boys the joys of pyromania at a garden party last night.
5. I'm honoured that little Jo-Jo hung out with me last night. He is the cutest, coolest 4 year old!!
6. Emma and Jon gave us a lovely bed to sleep in, even though space was at a premium. I can't cope with airbeds anymore. Emma and Jon's house is lovely.
7. I met Oliver, Diane and Jon's new baby.
8. Me and 'im stopped off at Burghley House in Stamford on the way home. It was such a lovely sunny day we didn't want to be in the car all afternoon. After getting attacked by a wasp whilst trying to eat humous, we found a secluded spot in the shade of some amazing tall trees, and lay in the cool, rejuvenating grass. I took my shoes off and buried my feet in the grass. It smelt of summer holidays.
