31st March 2010

The clinic is over and everyone has left.  As much as I love the farm being busy I also love it when it is quiet.  Mags and I took Monty (her black lab), Léo and Cookie out for a lovely walk across the fields in between the rain showers.  They had a fantastic time romping together as up until recently we would keep either Monty or Léo on the lead in case they disappeared together.  Monty’s recall is now more reliable and now Léo is maturing he is less distracted by the behaviour of other dogs and pays little attention to Monty when he is busy searching for pheasants in the hedgerows.   I am getting everything ready for my trip to South Africa as I leave on the 14th for two weeks.  It is busy in South Africa but I could only promise two weeks when plans were finalised in January as I have too many work commitments here.  Tina will be going out to teach the third week so we won’t see each other for over three weeks.  That will be a bit strange.  Even though Tina only works for four days at Tilley Farm (aside from the times that she assists on the clinics) she is here with her own horses every day and also sees her private clients here so it all seems rather quiet when she and her dog Sally are absent from the farm for any length of time. 

Have snugged the bunnies in bed early, brought the donkeys in early too as the weather is GRIM and will head home now to walk my other dogs and feed the other donkeys and pony.
