My back is still giving me problems so, while I have Flossie here, I am making the most of it and lying in bed all day getting up only to feed the animals.
As Floss was going out to lug water (apparently it is called the “Farmer’s Carry” in the gym), I gave her my phone and asked her to take some photos of her surroundings and anyone else she happened upon. I stayed lying on my bed.
The horses and ponies have had two fields to dig for grass in. This is the stream which is completely covered over – something I have never seen before.
The drifts are pretty good too.
Everyone is pleased to be outside.
Except for Fivla and Vitamin who have taken up residence in their container. I did show Haakon, Iacs and Kolka the containers. Haakon thought I was actually mad expecting anyone to go inside. Iacs and Kolka went in and came straight out. Still, they know where they are if they want shelter.
Anyway, tonight we have left everyone outside having had two suppers, along with copious haynets hanging everywhere and fresh water. The wind has died down and those that need have rugs. Floss and I decided everyone needed to stop seeing us as their servants and start being horses and ponies again.

Wow, such a lot of snow, and with a wind blowing, absolutely frigid! But it’s also beautiful. I hear it’s going to be stormy for a while more, yes? Glad you have help. As long as you have electricity and food I guess you’re ok. Hope your back improves soon.
What great pictures; thank you, both! The contrast of that beautiful sky & the snow is breathtaking. It’s so good to see the four foot members of the family & ,of course, the little Livestock Manager is out in her yellow coat checking on her friends. It does look nippy,though with the drifts & all. It seems almost impossible to think that just a few months ago those gorgeous wild flowers were dotting those same fields.
Again rest that back: 2026 stretches ahead & everyone wants you to feel better.
Thanks for a great selection of photos, Flossie! Hope your back settles down, Frances. Fingers crossed for you.
Wow! Terrific pictures!
Great photos Flossie, Thank you! Hoping some horizontal time provides some relief for you Francis.
Photographic skills definitely run in the family – what lovely images, thank you Flossie 🙂
