Today we have ice.

And I made a very short Mindfulness film complete with music.  All 30 seconds!  Enjoy and meditate, but be quick!

Since seeing the soggy little Shetland ponies in their shed yesterday,  you will be pleased to know that they all dried off and floofed up a treat.

I went to see them on my dogwalk.

Tiddles and his rug are one.  I doubt we will get that off him before July.

I went round feeling for ribs and I can confidently say no one has any.

The ponies’ long coats are keeping them insulated and warm, as it should be.

(Silver gave me a knowing look)

Newt got a kiss on his nosey.

And Waffle was being aloof because I hadn’t brought any treats.  Unlike Gussie, I don’t travel with snacks.

Meanwhile, Tiddles had wandered over to  look at my mittens (made from ‘Bert wool, which are invaluable this time of year – I love them) and to pick up my walking sticks (again, invaluable).  I had put them down to take the photos.

And then I could see that Albie was thinking he could go and do some investigation, so I quickly scuttled back to pick everything up before they were destroyed. I found pony spit on my mittens, thank you Tiddles.

But it was good to see everyone happy and healthy. There is enough grass in their huge field so they don’t get any extra hay (I don’t want hay addicts). Their breakfast is obviously enough to keep body and soul together.  Daisy is also keeping me on track.  She is much tougher (and wiser) than me.  I am a soft touch.
