Lunches out, revision and photography

Today has been a really good day I haven't done much but I am happy with what I have done. This morning my pony club joining pack arrived, it came with a badge, a tie, about all the different activities, about the different levels of efficiency tests as well as a cool rosette to go on my horse wall. 

This afternoon my dad, mum, uncle rob and I went to Horsley lodge for lunch, we went to try the food as this is where we are going to go after the funeral. I had this really nice cagun chicken with sweet potatoes wedges both things that I have never had before. They were both so nice and I enjoyed having them. My mum had a mushroom linguine and so did my uncle and my dad had a chicken ceasar salad.  We all enjoyed it then this afternoon I drove myself to school and had textiles revision first most people were looking for the fashion show photos but seen as I didn't do it I don't bother looking at them and instead got on with doing some textiles revision. I got given questions and the answers to copy out so that I could test myself at home as well as in school. I spent an hour doing this and managed to copy up the majority of the questions but I will continue doing that tomorrow. 

I then had my English lesson to start with we looked at past papers over the past three years and then we moved on to playing a game but it was a revision game. Most of us stood up it started with one person and they had to say a quote and then pick another person. This person said who was saying the quote and then a quote of their own. When you didn't get things right you then had to sit down. Instead of playing the game I started sitting down and wrote down some of the best quotes. It was a good way to revise and I really liked it. 

When I got home I watched TV for a while and played some games on my laptop. Then my mum took me for a drive and I managed to get up some hills without stalling on them. I then came down the A38 and went around one of the big round abouts that I was worries about doing. We then went in to a car park and practiced parking and reversing around corners. We also did a couple attempts at a 3 point turn. I didn't find them as hard as i thought I was going to do them. I then reversed on to my drive, I will post a picture of my drive tomorrow showing where I park and how hard it is to park on my drive. It took me a bit longer today as it was slippy and raining but I did eventually manage it and that's all that really matters. 

Tomorrow I am in school for an hour and a half because my lessons in the afternoon has been cancelled but my textiles lesson first thing is still on. Then I might help my mum and uncle do the shopping. I know that I have to go to my youth group because one of the people there needs me to take pictures of the youth group for a newsletter type thing and a bulletin board. It will be interesting to see how the photographs turn out but until tomorrow.

  1. Wow I love what you've done with your blog!

    Sorry I've been absent for so long. I've barely had time to read blogs at all. I'll try to get caught up as soon as possible.

    On the driving practice are you learning to drive a standard? I've been practicing driving a standard, but just haven't had much time for it. I feel so uncoordinated with it like I can't get the timing with my hands and feet together lol.

CON ARTIST - NICKI WILLIAMS - BEWARE

Okay so this post has taken me a while to post for several reasons but the main one being just how angry this woman has made me.  For those of you that have been following my blog for a long while you will know that back around October of 2016, I was introduced to a woman called Nicki Williams, she was a friend of a friend that was supposed to be opening a centre for rehoming and rescuing animals, but also for horses working with soldiers that has PTSD. We hit it off straight away and came what I thought to be good friends. However warning bells should have probably rang sooner. By January or February of last year the horses that I had agreed to look after (that she had got on loan) Bella and Arthur, she was being threatened that she would have them taken off her by the control of horses act, because she hadn't been paying the rent for the field. Although Nicki reassured me that she had done, she even showed my 'payments' that had been made to Angie. I ended up getti...

Magic's 2nd day in his new home

It has been a while since I have posted on here but I thought it was the perfect time to restart the blog. So to start with I'll give you all an update on what's been going on over the years since I've posted and then I will be back to regularly posting and keeping you all updated on the world of magic.  The first big change who I need to introduce is Jaxon, Jaxon is mine and Jack's 7 month old baby, he was born on the 7th July 2020. Part of this blog will be dedicated to overcoming the challenges of having a small child and owning a horse, even when everyone told me it was impossible to do. Jax has a best friend Bailey who is mums new 1 year old puppy and he has the best time trying to play with her.  Of course Magic is one of Jaxon's best friends.  Now for an update on Magic, he is doing really well, I can't remember if I ever told you, but he moved yards last year when I was pregnant with little man. Unfortunately this yard just didn't quite ...

Olympics - good bad or both?

In the Beijing Olympics in 2008 the horses used in the pentathlon were said to cause farcical scenes with fall after fall after fall. This was said to be the fault of the horses that were either hired or loaned to the competitors. It was not blamed to be rider error or a combination of both rider error and horse error, it was labelled as being the horses fault or this is what it said in ' Horse and Hound Magazine'. This horse was said to have been to spooky and sharp, but is it not a combination of rider's aids and rider error AS WELL as the horse being spooky. Can we really just blame it on the horse, when we are the ones that tell the horse what to do, by no means am i saying it was 'just the riders fault' couldn't it have been a combination of both?.    For the London 2012 Olympics it was said that a total of two years if no longer was spent attempting to find the right horse for the right competitor. They made sure that the horse was at the right l...
