HAS AUTUMN HAS ARRIVED EARLY?

You can just see Corrie, Bazil, Ruth and MooMoo waiting by the fence for carrots last night. Look at the leaves on the ground, the trees are changing rapidly and the conkers are crashing to the ground. The nights are fair drawing in! With the rain, it is just miserable.

Last weekend was a bit of a washout, in fact Sunday the rain was heavy and relentless - I didn't ride Bombay on Sunday - my car had a puncture, so I spent the morning at Kwik Fit, and read the papers whilst waiting for my tyre to be repaired. No work done on the kennels, I'm now beginning to panic that I'll never get it finished.

This weekend is going to be busy. I have an appointment with the vet for both dogs on Saturday morning. They require more metacam and I can't get anymore with out this visit! Then I will ride Bombay for an hour, as he has a event on Sunday and Mum would like the stuffing knocked out of him before she competes. Maud is also going to this training day, but she is only going to do some showjumping with Pavla - so I'll have her tack to clean on Saturday night before I go to Pavla's leaving dinner. (Pavla and Peter are heading back home to Prague on Tuesday.)

Sunday will be just as busy, providing moral support for Mum and help Pavla with Maud. Chris will be working, which I should probably be doing too. I'm in a bit of a spin at the moment, what with work, horses, ponies the dogs and in two weeks time I'm in London for a few days to film a conference and so I feel I'm a little out of control.
