Gluten free organic goodies

With a wallet full of readies I ventured out to the bank with only a minor detour via the Saturday Organic markets...

...and whilst I was there I bought 200 grams of yummy buffalo milk cheddar...

... and 6 gluten free buffalo sausages. Not tried those before and anything in sausage form is generally OK in my book. I'll let you know.

One car (Sally Saab)

= no car


No luck selling via other free routes so finally plumped for Ebay after having some numpty mess me around agreeing to buy and then not turning up and making some very pathetic excuse and offering me £100 instead of the asking price. No thanks.

So Ebay "buy it now or nearest offer" auction started at 1pm last Saturday and by 2pm I had achieved the full asking price no messing. SOLD! As soon as the auction started I had an inbox full of questions and interested parties. Before I knew it there was an email saying "you have sold.... blah blah"... I did a double take and then emailed him straight back to arrange the deal.


Turns out he was a jolly nice old chap with a dodgy knee. Needed a reliable automatic to run himself around in after his upcoming knee op. That is if he can lose another 2 stone to get to the surgeons target weight... he had already shed 6 stone in 3 months which is pretty good going - but as you can imagine he was quite a large chap.

Already got my nice feedback from him and everyone is happy - lets just hope that Sally Saab continues to provide good service to her new owner.

SNOW! Ugg!

Not really too keen on the cold white stuff that is falling from the sky... I wouldnt mind if I were to be skiing in the Alps, but London... no thank you!

Into the fold

Was up at Adams yard in Banbury the other day and met the latest additions to his ever growing herd of horses!

This is the gigantic Mylie (17.2 hands) and up and coming team chasing hopeful.


And this is the ever so cute and ever so much smaller 8 month old pony Freddy. He is a big bundle of fluff at the moment and very sweet considering he is basically a pikey pony that has had a bit of a rough start in life and a bit neglected. Although he might look like he has a well fed belly that is actually a seething mass of worms and parasites (poor thing) and it has been putting him off his food quite a lot. Adam administered the magic antiparasitic paste already and the evidence is beginning to show. Not pleasant to look at but already he is perking up. Adam says that he is a very well mannered and kind tempered pony so with a bit of encouragement will one day make someone a great pet.
