Egg speed trials, wild seas and wet through!

This is our third year ofContinue reading “Egg speed trials, wild seas and wet through!”
the vet is here…
As I type the vet is doing the deed to Fernando – my heart is in my mouth as the vet we DIDN’T want turned up with the dippy girl we don’t like either… so I’m hiding down here and Mike is being the brave man at the stable. This is a classic of largeContinue reading “the vet is here…”
