I ordered some zip storage bags to put the horses and ponies rugs in – I have an extensive collection because you just never know (that’s my excuse and I am sticking to it). The bags are suprisingly much bigger than I expected. Measuring or sending stuff back is not one of my strengths. I will never learn but decided to use them nonetheless.

And this is my pile of rugs to be shoved into bags and stored.

My wonderful new shelving did its job and everything is now all organised and easy to grab too.

I have remaining a pile of rugs that I will sell or give away, if anyone wants. Some are nicer than others.

My smugness knows no bounds at my immense organisational skills.

Iacs’ and Haakon’s rugs went back on at tea time (off in the sunshine for the day) and I am considering nipping out after supper to put the other rugs on as it is going down to -5°C tonight with snow tomorrow (don’t get me started).

The little ones have their hay and containers so they should be fine.




And they all have their thick winter coats too as I am too lazy to groom them yet. It is certainly not the weather for it. I might give Tiddles his rug because he needs one. No one else in that group does.

Again, I am laughing because I can so identify, not with horses & their rugs, but I have to admit that organization is not my forte’, but when I succeed at organization, I become ,momentarily, self-righteous. That lasts for about 5 minutes because I look around at the squirrel middens of my life & sigh. My younger daughter encouraged me to watch Marie Kondo & I became so fixated with the question of ‘Why would anyone do this & be so proud?’ That I lost the entire message.
Poor you! Your weather is just not playing the game. It’s cold here, but not that bad.
I like the storage bags, very bright and cheery looking on the shelves.
