The Sit Spot lasts all week by the time I have followed up all the literature references, music etc and have just listened to the Women Behind Wool podcast. Wonderful! Having grown up on a dairy farm, then twenty years on our own farm I understand the constant evolution of genetics, the choices made to improve the herd etc , and now doing it with beef cattle. Most of our grandchildren live in the city and love visiting the farm; they know where meat, milk, eggs and vegetables come from and also that sadly there are losses along the way. Imperative that there is a wider appreciation and understanding of rural life. Covid will hopefully be a catalyst for change as we were suddenly forced to face the fact that we are so dependent on imports. Love that you are riding again - magic 🦋🌻
Back in bed with coffee to read The Sit Spot and here you are a week ago! I can’t imagine how I missed this. So lovely to read you are back in the saddle and you’ve mastered the Fish Pie. Always my favourite read. x
I watched some livestream campdraft action from Willinga Park and was so inspired by the masterful horsemanship that I pulled my boy in and saddled up. He’s been out of work for nearly 12 months with an injury. The joy to get on and ride out even at just a walk was amazing.
I had to ask myself how did I let myself get so busy that I don’t have time for riding?

What a wonderful comment. Thank you Mary, and what a gift to give your grandchildren.
Thank you 🦋🌹
Love it Mags.
And it reaches me here in England.
Of course, say the young.
You’ve made me giggle Margie, have a wonderful trip. x

Back in the saddle. Ah:)
Thanks, Maggie - your ‘body talk’ really resonated ❤️
Must be the week for it.

I watched some of that too!
