Trying to cheer myself up and sitting here looking through my window, across the lane in the field is a mare (Dina) and her two week old foal, Dreamer, what joy and pleasure I have had watching the antics today, its a gusty showery day here and suddenly the rain will lash down, this is obviously distressing to the foal who immediately runs to her mum for shelter, as soon as the rain subsides Dreamer takes on new life and energy and is such fun to watch , running, kicking her heels back even more amusing trying to use her back leg to scratch behind her ear..
I was taken to see her in my wheelchair yesterday, wow, that really made her skittish, new experience, answer from the owner was please come over more often as she has to get acclimatised to new experiences. Now that made me feel really good inside. Even better was the feeling when she calmed down and let me pat her, ohhh that velvety fur..
and coming back through the garden and up my ramp I could smell those roses..
