Final Day of Horsing Around.

We try not to encourage the dogs to beg whilst pepole are eating but we made an exception this weekend as there was just too much temptation.

Brother Russ was eating BBQ chicken last night.  The dogs were his very best friends ...

After dinner and drinks it was time for a game of cricket till bad light stopped play at about 22.00!

Today was the final day of the show jumping and it was my niece's friend, Tiffany's turn to shine ...

She didn't win, but finished well placed in the final ...

Another rosette to add to the collection ...

Next up was niece, Kim, who had a good clear round to go into the final... 

Once again a superb day for sitting in the sun watching the riders put the horses through their paces ...

Kim's horse clipped a pole so no place today.  Later on she went up to the 95cm class but the poor horse was so tired because of the heat and went through rather than over a couple of fences but still did an amazing job ...

So that was that!  A superb 4 days was over ... I needed a rest before we dismantled the camp ...

And that was that.  They all left us on our own ... brother Russ kindly squeezed mother in the horse box and took her back to Milton Keynes, saving us the journey south then turning round and heading north again.

We are going to stay put in the park tonight hooked up to the 240v.  Other people are still here so we are pretty sure we won't be bothered. Then tomorrow we will head back to Macc and moor up at Sutton, very close to the canal at Gurnett aqueduct.

We have both thoroughly enjoyed the last few days.  It was so great to catch up with the family.  I would never have thought in a million years that I would have enjoyed watching horses jumping,but it was fantastic, although it helps to have a family member to cheer on!
