It has been the most amazing summer. The weather has been fabulous and we have been flat out with the shepherd huts and the cosy cocoon site. Even the tree tent has been full every night since the beginning of July. We had a couple who stayed last night who swore they saw a puma eating a rabbit in the neighbouring field......It takes all sorts. So although I haven't been doing the horses I have been very busy in a different way and now I am looking forward to getting back to the riding out and bringing horses and our gaggle of novice riders on for the season.
During the summer break my beautiful granddaughter, Allegra, was born. She is too gorgeous for words and Emma and Josh have got it right with two boys and two girls.

Now the hot weather is coming to an end we had some rather beautiful rainbows earlier and a splash of much needed rain
