October 6th

Have spent the last two days at the farm working with the horses, trying to catch up and walking the dogs.  Léo is coming on well and he is such a happy dog but he is extremely powerful and SUCH a teenager at the moment. I am teaching him that it is far nicer for all concerned if we walk calmly out of the gate and up the track as I do not relish the thought of frost and ice and an adolescent Maremma who is focused on the call of the fields and not me!  As Daisy has now left school and is enjoying a gap year I have so much more time as the school run would take at least 2 and a half hours each day. I am also taking a year off from writing and for the first time in four years can enjoy the autumn without being chained to my computer.  This is my favourite season and the weather on the whole has been glorious and I am continuing with my clearing and cleaning mission and shall tackle the feed room when I am back from Budapest.
