Aware the weather is coming so I got up early doors this morning and went out on the pony for a ride. Got back just as the first hint of wind and rain started. Went out to post a parcel, mucked out, poo picked, walked the dogs and did the goosie and chicken water and chicken feed. Brought the horses in early as the big chap is very funny about atmospheric pressure changes and prefers to be tucked up in his poo palace before it gets really bad. I gave him a really thorough groom as being older he is changing his coat big time already whereas my 9yo mare hasnt even considered it yet.
So three hours earlier than normal I am back indoors with horses in, dogs fed and just the nighttime ritual of dogs and horses to do at bedtime. Quite nice really, fire to light, homemade broccoli quiche and chips for dinner and cosy up with the dogs.
