\nI have just got back from a lovely Valentine’s breakfast with Brian followed by a walk in the woods with Whizz, and despite the fact that it\u2019s rather chilly and I don\u2019t feel like my feet are touching the ground very often right now, I am ever so thankful for all we have!<\/p>\n\n
I\u2019ve been having hip pain for a few months and ended up being sent off for x-rays last week for arthritis (fortunately, they came back clear) but I have invested in the Pilates Reformer<\/a>, so doing a bit of extra stretching every day on top of the usual dog walking\/horse riding, not that I\u2019ve ridden Beth much this year, partly because of being busy but also partly because of my hip.<\/p>\n She is being ridden regularly by a friend so she\u2019s keeping fit, but I do make sure I squeeze in half an hour here and there to go down for cuddles, give her a good pamper and, of course shower, her with carrots and love! She is so beautiful! Just the other day, I opened her stable door and it had been a few days since my previous visit, and I could literally see the smile on her face, she was so pleased to see me – such a beautiful uncomplicated love comes from animals, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n Anyway, home now and half term starts later today so I\u2019m going to do a quick run around the house armed with my Dyson<\/a><\/strong> and I\u2019m really looking forward to giving my Ecozone<\/a><\/strong> Big Deal a test! We have terrible lime scale and so I\u2019m always happy to try out anything to help our appliances keep clean too! It\u2019s on a special price from Monday 24th, so why not grab yourself one too and give it a test. Happy cleaning and happy Valentine’s Day!<\/p>\n OK, no more procrastinating – I\u2019m off! See you soon!<\/p>\n Much love as always,<\/p>\n Pipa xx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have just got back from a lovely Valentine’s breakfast with Brian followed by a walk in the woods with Whizz, and despite the fact that it\u2019s rather chilly and I don\u2019t feel like my feet are touching the ground very often right now, I am ever so thankful for all we have!
