Yes, we are very lucky, and we never take it for granted. The scenery around here is stunning, and we can ride for miles without touching a road (accept to cross it).
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..

And whose is the other one?
ReplyDeleteIt also looks like you were having the best weather that day.
The grey belongs to my friend Louise. There are several of us who hack together in twos, threes or fours. It's all very pleasant and companionable.
DeleteBeautiful scenery - and I think his hair looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa. I'll tell him that.
DeleteOh, how I'd love to be on that horse!

DeleteFrom that angle it looks like you must have one foot on each saddle like a circus acrobat rider.
ReplyDeleteNo. My companion took the photo...
DeleteOur Exmoors think he looks terribly well groomed. But then, I tell them, compared to them anything would!
ReplyDeleteThe rest of him is well groomed, Gail. He just has problem hair!
DeleteHmm I missed that in amongst all my painting and decorating. It made me realise that it's over 40 years since I was on the back of a horse.
ReplyDeleteTime you got on again, Graham?
DeleteFrances how often do you ride?
ReplyDeleteAbout 3-4 times a week, Frances. I should do more as the horse needs the exercise, but so far he's put off four sharers...Bad boy.
DeleteHis mane is tidier than mine usually is.
ReplyDeleteBut not as pretty, Patsy.
