Galahad and I made full use of the whole twelve days of Christmas – we have been wearing our Christmassy outfits all week.

On New Year’s Day we went for a hack with my sister and Cookster, then came back to wassail the apple trees.  This is something we do every year, although the ponies don’t often get to join in.  They definitely appreciated the apples!

Yesterday was our last Christmassy ride and we had a lovely time, pootling along the lanes which were, for the most part, nice and quiet.

We had a couple of stops along the way – we met some new friends.

We admired the view and we even spotted a few signs of spring.

It was a perfect day – sunny but with a chill in the air.  Wonderful.
