I’m still here! Haven’t had much blogging mojo lately, but here I am. I’m visiting my sister in Dorset and yesterday we had a trip to Monkey World. We hadn’t been there for years so it was lovely to see how it’s changed and how the apes and monkeys have grown up. Photos aren’t theContinue reading “Primates of Monkey World”

Farewell little piggies
Today our remaining little pig Lily had to be put down due to a tumour. It was a very sad decision to have to make but there was nothing they could do and she was suffering. Her sister Splodge died suddenly in November, so now we are no longer owners of squeaky little piggies. FarewellContinue reading “Farewell little piggies”
I’m back
I haven’t ventured out much with the camera for a while as I haven’t been feeling well. I’ve been feeling quite sorry for myself. Last weekend I had to drag myself out as my daughter was taking part in a Cross Country competition. I took a lot of photos of her riding, and one crazyContinue reading “I’m back”
Happy Kitten
This kitten at my daughter’s riding school really wanted a cuddle this morning, and once she had her way, she was very happy about it 🙂 Very cute. Welcome to any readers who’ve joined us from my other blog which is going to be closing down – this will now be the location for NatureContinue reading “Happy Kitten”
Horse Love
This is a photo I snapped on my iPhone to put on Instagram this morning while taking my daughter riding. This horse is called George and he’s old and gentle and very friendly. My daughter loves him and was giving him a cuddle. This really sums her up – she just LOVES horses! It’s notContinue reading “Horse Love”
Spot the Kitten
The sister of the kitten I posted yesterday was drawing attention to herself today at the riding centre … can you spot the kitten (clue: top right)? The building is the Pony Barn which houses about 7 ponies, and the little kitten was spotted sunning herself amongst the climbers. Here she is close up: SheContinue reading “Spot the Kitten”
Peeking Out
This is a photo I took last weekend when my daughter was doing showjumping. We had a ‘kitten break’ between the first round and the jump-off and we decided to go to the hay barn to see if the kittens were there. They were – there are actually 2 in this photo but the littleContinue reading “Peeking Out”
Lonely Horse
I was out for a walk on Saturday and this horse was making a lot of noise, neighing and whinnying and galloping up and down. It seemed to be calling out to a friend as occasionally there was a distant reply. I think the horse was feeling a bit lonely – perhaps it normally hasContinue reading “Lonely Horse”
Weekly Photo Challenge: Joy
This photo sums up my daughter’s joy in riding. She adores horses and ponies and she is always delighted when she gets to go riding. This was taken before a Show Jumping competition earlier this year, when she was very excited and joyful to be riding Dotty the pony, and to be doing jumping, whichContinue reading “Weekly Photo Challenge: Joy”
Cross Country
This morning was spent with my daughter at a show – she was taking part in show-jumping and cross country on Carrots, a pony from the stables she goes to regularly. This is her jumping over one of the cross country jumps. I took many photos, as you’d imagine, and I think that this isContinue reading “Cross Country”
