While the kids and I were mucking about at the Midsouth Pony Club Mega Rally and Horse Trials today, (full report to come soon), completely unbeknownst to me, my mum was at one of the premier and busiest events in England, rubbing shoulders with some of the best riders in the world. Hardly seems right! Mum lives about ten minutes down the road (classic British distance reference!) from Salperton, and evidently my aunt, Gaie, is in Africa, so Mum was drafted in to help my cousin, Elder, who was competing today. I was only aware of this, because Mum is SO proud of her new iphone, and decided to show it off by sending me an email from the venue this morning!
For the record, that is NOT my mum doing studs! She wouldn’t know what they are, let alone where to put them! I replied that I was extremely jealous, and wanted a full report. Be careful what you wish for, I had opened the floodgates! This came next…
and then it began to get interesting…!
Then, later…..
I’m pretty sure Big means the course, not sure who’s tired, probably the horse? and the emails kept on coming…
and next,
Yep, Mum’s a seasoned reporter by now! She then enlisted Elder’s help to send me pictures of all the scoreboards with the final results,
before one final post from home, and like mother like daughter she had to take the dog for a walk “round the field”
Thank you for the wonderful reports, Mum, I miss you and love you, can’t wait to see you soon xxx
