Spring is definitely here!

After having had the most horrible bout of flu, it was a pleasure to wake up this morning and see the early morning sun start to stream through the blinds.
After the normal morning ablutions it was down to the paddock to remove Jussy's coat, after a bit of TLC it was our turn to whizz off in the car to Phillips Equine near Matangi for Jan's riding lesson.
It has been a while since we have been there so it was nice when we headed up the driveway in to familiar territory.

Jan mentioned that to see how much you have grown you must return to a place and it was certainly the case today. Her riding lesson went very well and her confidence was brimming over at the end.

I took the opportunity to collect some pine cones for the fire and just take in the beautiful sweet air and sunshine.  I had completely forgotten about Fathers Day and the kids surprised me with a couple of sweet little gifts and a suitably abusive card!

The flowers were blooming and the scent on the air told me that winter was behind us. We may still get the odd blip in the weather but the worst is behind us now.

So it has been very much a horsey day today, and a nice day at that.
