the exciting part is over really .... waiting to see what she was carrying....lol.....now the adventure begins..... Very Happy

for little one and me.

the driving the horse and cart thing......i used to have a job ( my first actually...lol ) driving the cart on the beach where i grew up. we would catch the horses, 30 of them, then tack them all up, then would ride them about 4 miles to the beach. my job was the cart and horse. now that was very idylic...lol.
we would use different horses every few days. John, whose business it was, ( and still is) has a riding school in WSM and also about 40 ponies and horses that would work the beach. we were there from Easter til the end of september, rain or shine.....lol.

ahhh those were the days.

in fact he is still there everyday throughout the summer, on Brean Sands Somerset, behind the Seagull pub, near Pontins, tho he no longer takes the horse and cart down just riding ponies and horses.

so soon i am going to get rid of the rusty braincells and have another go at driving.....shouldnt tak that long for it all to come back to me.....just have to be aware of the idiots on the roads nowadays.......who dont give a monkeys toss about anyone or anything........

not driven horses in years.....might see if i can find somewhere that does a refresher course, or see one of my mates who drive.

then ofcourse, it is finding out if the cob actually is a ride and drive .......hhhmmmm......lots of longreigning i think.

yep piccis to follow, but i might not start for a week or so, bit busy this week..... Wink
