It was not bad at first this morning. New Mum was yawning all the time when she brought out our breakfast because she was up until late watching the fireworks on television. She had to turn the sound up very high to drown out the noise from the fireworks going off all around us. Woofer doesn’t mind bangs on TV but real fireworks are a different thing. She shivers and shakes, dribbles and tries to dig her way out through the floor and the walls so New Mum has to quieten her down and give her something else to listen to.
We are very brave and aren’t at all afraid of fireworks.
This is a picture of us having breakfast in the field shelter. We look a bit grubby because we have been rolling under the trees up in the top wood. New Mum says she is looking forward to Spring so that she can give us both a good grooming so that we look a bit respectable. In Winter she can only brush the mud off because grooming stops our coats from being waterproof.
You can’t see the shelter very well in this picture but it is quite big. It was built for two big horses and three ponies so there is plenty of room.
The wild daffodils are already starting to grow up in the wood and across the fields. New Mum doesn’t expect that to happen until February or March. Perhaps this nasty weather will go away soon and we will have some nice sunny days.
We’ll write some more next week.
