The weather was not as bad as was promised last night and this morning. We were woken in the night with the wind, definitely not the 70 to 80 miles gusts that was forecast. The forecasters managed to get it wrong again. The better way this time. With it being wrong the right way still […]
I showed the stream on the Valley camera earlier, to show how much rain we have been getting. We had a bit of a flood in one of the outbuildings. The forecast for tonight is not very promising. Heavy rain and severe gales they reckon. Elsie emailed me this as below today. About a Horse […]
The Father Christmas Webcams are now working. The Bloodstock Auctions are just about finishing and I have not managed to purchase another in Foal Broodmare.

My expected time of arrival in Chantilly was just before 5.pm (4.pm UK time) but with the French Railways. intermittent strikes, I was unsure […]
It took an hour and a half to load Bliss and Misty on the Horse box this evening. They just didn’t want to get on. I thought that they may not be going to France today. We tried to entice them with herbal treats, their feed but nothing was working. With one person on the […]
