smallholdingsister's strivings

It's a different world with horses! Is it you riding, or DD? I wish you could do your errands on the Plops, that would be a great sight there's a pub in a local village with a horserail outside, and it's genuinely used in the summer (I think its adults from one of the local riding schools - looks great, though).

I'm now wondering which village I know of a local pub around here that also has a hitching rail and is well used. I keep meaning to take Most Handsome there. We would have to pop him in the lorry, drive there, go for a ride, then hitch him up at the pub then pop in lorry to get home but I think it might be a nice thing to try

DD riding, me walking puppylove. Turns out Plops can be perfectly well behaved when her mother is present.

I think I am done for today.

Great news on the booking.

I quite fancied doing air B and B as we have 2 spare double rooms, one with an ensuite, but DH put the kibosh on that as he didn't want strange folk in the house and has worries about security.

Brilliant news, SHS!

As for security, I think it's earthgirl who brings her kids into her room when her renters are male, I'm not sure. Years ago, when I was in Canada and I went to the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, the B&B people I stayed with had their kids in their room and rented out the kids rooms for the duration of the festival.
