4th July 2010

I have been back in England for a few days now but have not had time to even think about jet lag. I arrived home last Wednesday and went to the farm on Thursday to catch up. Our little mare that was in for starting is now backed. She is still unsure about poles but I have every faith that we will get there in the end. We also have two lovely race horses in for two weeks before they go back into training and another mare due in tomorrow. I have been doing dog demonstrations at a county fair in Essex over the weekend and also managed to get in some gardening at my mother’s cottage in Suffolk so my feet have barely touched the ground since I returned.

Our daughter Daisy has elected to stay on in the US for a further few weeks which is actually great as Tony, Jon and I have secretly decorated and redesigned my old office so that she can move into a bigger bedroom. We will now have more time to get further along with the project before she comes home. The room (actually it’s two small rooms joined together) is a funny shape so I suggested putting in a stair case up to part of the attic which will be a dressing area and it is looking totally amazing. There is a lot to be said for having a male best friend (Jon) who is a very talented builder, joiner, plasterer, etc. The guy can build a whole house including electrics and plumbing (which I think is pretty cool) so Daisy’s new room is a piece of cake.
