Another Competition

Today we went to a dressage competition with youngest. This was held about ten minutes away from the yard where Jelly is stabled, so no crack of dawn starts today thank goodness. She was hoping to qualify for this and I'm glad to say that she did. We'll be off to the competition sometime in September.
Sorry there are no photos but the camera batteries died on me, that will teach me not to check them before we go out.

On a completely different note I have joined in with this,



it has been started at The Balancing Kiwi.
The idea is that I promise to send a small gift to the first three people that comment on this post, they then promise to do the same thing. The gifts only need to be something small and they have to be sent within a year.
I understand that it isn't something that any of you may want to do so I thought that I could maybe make a donation to charity instead.
If nobody wants to do the gift thing if the first three people that comment want to nominate a charity I'll make a donation instead of sending them something.
I hope that this is still in the spirit of the Pay it Forward. I'll leave it with you.

Tomorrow Husband and I are off to the British Museum, he wants to go and look at the Chinese pottery. Then we are going to visit the Japan Centre which is full of all things Japanese, funnily enough. I'm hoping to come back with some craft books!

The camera batteries are charging so I'll be back with some photos and an account of our adventures tomorrow, hopefully.

  1. Hi Sue, I think Pay It Forward is a lovely idea, so please include me! On the camera battery front - I have two sets of rechargeable batteries for my small camera, so I always have a spare set in my camera bag .... like you having learned the hard way that batteries run out just when you need them most. I only have one battery for my big camera, as it is a specialist battery, but there is a clear display on the camera screen, so I know when to recharge it.

  4. Hello Sue. I am a new reader to your blog. Do you know what dressage means in French? "How'ja get the horse to do that?" :)

    My daughter, Honey Bee, has shown in dressage for many years. And, right now at the age of 32, she is riding her best horse ever! She is also an Equine Veterinarian just finishing her residency in surgery. So..........

  5. hey Sue..... I will be happy to do a Pay It Forward ... . I've done several in the past and they are great fun.

    I can never get anybody to participate either...nobody seems to want to make time for such a tiny thing which seems strange to me ...but.... if you just want to exchange a little something..... we can always do that? ....
