Oak tree in full leaf in horse paddock.
What a beautiful day. Yesterday we went to the Point to Point Award ceremony at Stratford racecourse. It is an annual event for us and always great fun. Marcus Armitage (Grand National winner on Mr Frisk) gave the after lunch speech and was hilarious. We then stood on the lawn and watched the racing. Frightfully civilised!
Today we had a bit of catching up to do so I was busy in the office in the morning and Doug spent the day spraying. It was too nice a day to stay in the office for long so I mowed the lawns and did some weeding. Joseph and Sophie came to drop Geoffrey around as they were staying the night at Cirencester so at this moment Poppy and Geoffrey are creating havoc in the office. Time to clear up the mess....
