Today’s planned trip up to Swalcliffe Park for cross-country schooling has been cancelled: Snow stopped play.
The roads were extremely dangerous when I left home at 08.15 and our cross-country course has plenty of snow on it.
Swalcliffe’s cross-country course is even higher and more exposed than ours.
So I am back home – having broken down, cleaned, oiled and reassembled two bridles and three saddles (and feeling slightly virtuous).
A mug of tea and bed with The Observer and a good book beckons.
Woo, rock’n’roll!
