As usual its been a busy few months. The awful wet weather of the winter severely limited the building work and we just seemed to be constantly wallowing in mud and digging trenches for the water to escape. However the arrival of dry weather in March meant that the stables could go up and it very quickly started to look like a livery yard. Our first liveries began to arrive in April although the stables weren't completed until the end of May! They are a lovely bunch and we are very lucky to have them and their lovely horses. The storage barn is now nearly up it just needs the roof finishing. The final big job is the arena and this will be our focus for the next month or so the membrane is going down now so should progress quickly from there. There are still quite a lot of tidying up jobs to do but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel now and the build will be complete before the winter. We have several new arrivals in the next couple of weeks and we are looking forward to welcoming them. I feel we need to have a yard BBQ if the weather will hold! As we've been so busy I've only managed to get Millie out eventing once so far. We went to the pony club ODE at Norton Disney. She jumped a fab double clear and few round the cross country a minute under the optimum time but the less said about the dressage the better! Work to be done I fear. The wet and warm weather this spring means everything is growing like crazy the hay and other crops are going to be ready very early this year life is about to get busier than usual. Until next month thank you for reading and following our progress. Laura
