Burghley Horse Trials

Thank you one and all - we had a great time and sold loads of eggs too... with Lotto now on holiday and then back to University we were a bit short handed this weekend so Helz brought along her friend Kate, a visitor from Australia I think she found it all a bit different but seemed to have fun. A big thank you to Dave and his family from patchwork for keeping us entertained and to Dave and Mark from Gwatkins for keeping Helz in check!

We had a very warm welcome from the Burghley crowd and hope to return, if they'll have us next year, this time with a bit more stock, sorry we rather underestimated the requirements for this one. (Note to self: really should try to get into a few more horse trials next year)

I gather that last year the weather was dreadful and patchwork Dave was hoping for a bit of a repeat so he could take Lara out for a bit of a spin, in the end all he could do was to give the kids a thrilling ride back to their caravan. PS thank for discovering the brilliant fly swat guns!!!
