Nearly Back to Normal

James, our neighbour has just come up to shovel the snow off the road with his tractor. We are now in the lucky position that people can actually come and see us without ending up in the front field, or in the bungalow sitting room. The weekend has been pretty horrid, with perhaps the worst blizzard on Friday....but still everyone made it in. I think that tempers may be a little frayed now, especially as it looks as if we may be in for more snow at the end of the week. The horses are in a better frame of mind because they have been able to get out for a kick, a roll and a buck, although we can't exercise yet because the school and the lanes remain under a thick blanket of snow.
We had been alerted to 30 racehorses that perhaps needed our care but thankfully, it appears that they have now been successfully placed in new homes.
We have a full house in the office, and all the yard staff came into the classroom for our Open Day meeting (being held on June 14th), so lots of organising to do.. March 21st Raceday and then of course the Great Sunday Lunch on November 1st. It should be added that Lara the Rhodesian Ridgeback nearly cleared the whole meeting by leaving a rather large calling card in the cloakroom, which then wafted breathily into our meeting. Nevertheless, everyone was terribly polite and didn't point an accusing finger at anyone until the actual perpetrator was found.
Lara left the room to recover, and we were left with the aftermath.
We must remember to take Lara to any meeting when we fear it may go on too long.
