Jet Along the Sand

Wow. What an painfully wonderful week. I'm so glad it's over but i wish it was still going. I can't describe how awesome it felt to walk along the beach on the back of a horse and then wait for half the group to go ahead while you walk backwards on your horse unintentionally and then at the slightest wrist movement your off, standing in the saddle unable to be seated with your hands almost at the ears, under you, you can feel the muscles moving at such speed and precision, you feel safe and secure although you have very little supporting you to stay on. You can see the others around you, flying across the sand in a mirror image of yourself but you feel alone you feel like your flying and you can feel your heart pounding against your insides the blood rushing all over your body, giving you the best feeling in the entire world... Id so use that to conjure up my patronus...

My three days of riding were full of fun and all three had a gallop along the beach, the third and final day we even went into the sea! If only a little, but we all got wet from it :P. My first day, i had an assessment ride to basically show what i could do. They were very pleased to see what i could do though :) I felt nice to be back in a saddle and can i add that it was a very comfy one. After my assessment i had my first gallop along the beach, which from my description above I'm sure you'll know was AMAZING. My long ride in the afternoon was canceled due to that which i shall mention later and it was exchanged for a town ride.
On my second day of riding, my true love... lol... My second day consisted of another wonderful beach ride, an hour lesson for which i choose to do jumping in and then another town ride for which i was in the lead. After this ride there was a huge family, possibly I'm hoping it was more than one family, waiting for the next town ride, and when one of them got on, he didn't stop at the saddle, and well, round and over and drop, plop he went haha. It was extremely funny!
My third day i was very sore... however i got on the horse and we went up over the mountain and down again, which took us from 10 till 4.30pm. It was amazing, how far you could see was breathtaking and i have to admit, on the way down there were points at which i forgot to breath...

Now...even if a gallop on the beach is totally cliche these days, I'd still like a knight in shining armour to come and take me away, galloping along the beach into the sunset, to live happily ever after.

Unfortunately, this will never happen because life just isn't like that unless your really lucky. But hey, i haven't found any four leaf clovers in the almost 19years of my life so i feel sure that this cliche wont happen... and anyhow, I'd kick him off the horse before setting off.. it'd be mightily uncomfortable to have someone else with you galloping along the sandy beach.

Well.. if you haven't noticed i had a FANTASTIC time up north on my little adventure to a small town with not even a shop, or petrol station.. but don't worry.. it had a pub. And a nice house for sale....
But anyways.. Going off the wonderfulness of it, I;d like you all to know that the nutter running around shooting randoms at his own ill didn't get me. If you don't believe me, go watch the news about Cumbria.. My knack for being in/ near the action hasn't faltered.

RIP all those who died at his hands.

I feel that i shall leave this blog here on the sad note to go and rest my muscles, as they are still sore.. 3 days of horse riding after almost a year of not riding really gets to your muscles...

Week Off

So i almost died when my tickets had not yet come by yesterday because it was over 7 working days after i'd ordered them, so i rang the people.. twice in the morning to see what could be done, both i couldnt understand and both where mean and couldnt do this or that.. then i talked to Sue and she said go see what the train station people say and so off i went and the nice man talked to me about what i could do and what to say to the people on the phone, because they are truly hopeless. So i rang, asking for the manager, but the man i got was nice and told me to ring the day before my train and get my reference number so i can get my tickets from a self serve machine :) great isnt all that trouble and stress i went through.

Anyways. Im really excited, tonight i get to see Stew and Annette and Jack and then tomorrow they go off adventuring and i get to house sit. Im thinking of going back to the Palace to get a proper look without all of London there as well. Maybe i'll look see if there is a changing of the guards before i go :P

Next week im going horse riding for 3 days up in the Lake District, how exciting, i can't wait! I'll take piccies and have a lot of fun, and come back very sore from riding because lets face it.. it's been a while!

So i woke up at 6am this morning, how annoying. But i got a few things done, so it's alright. I woke from the sun, it seems to get up at 4am here, but lucky i wasn't awakened at that time :)

I must be off readers, as i am to get ready for work and complete my packing :)
Have a good night/ day

Wondering

So your all probably not wondering if i died of that cold.. which turned into conjunctivitis.
Yeah it was gross.

Well i didn't die of it, or it'd be amazing that I'm typing this now. Yes i should be sleeping, but my brain is just to active at the moment, so i decided to blog it. Because i can..

I need a brain active hobby... and yes i do read, it's just not enough to make my brain close of for the night. maybe it's just annoyed because i ignored it to side with a embarrassed teenage side of self and didn't get a picture with the early 20's Johnny Depp identical twin sitting less than 10 metres away from Lauren and i in Hyde Park on Sunday the 23rd May... Wow he was nice to look at. I'm telling you i was so close to getting a picture, i guess he probably gets it all the time though. Oh well. Overall my weekend was fabtabulas! And i recomend neweurope tours for anyone :) I enjoyed the 'Grim Reaper tour' and also their pub crawl back at easter haha. It was great seeing Stew and Annette and Jack, we had a picnic in the nice weather in the clapham park and i played frizbe with Alex, left handed haha. Although Jack was a sick little boy and it wasn't nice seeing him like that :(.

So maybe i guess my brain.. and i never thought I'd ever say this.. but maybe my brain misses school work... and there goes the big "DUN DUN DUN" in the background of the scene.
I was going to try and teach myself Spanish, however when you don't use it at all, its hard to do by yourself.

So the weathers really nice at the moment, t'shirt, shorts, open windows, blue Sky's and light breezes. Where can i go that has this all year round? I'll do some research on that.
I don't know what else to say really.
Oh Dad guess what I'm reading :P You'll never guess haha

Oh and i also changed my blog colours :)
Do you all like them?

Spring...

Everything is starting to pop out and grow around here, its just so beautiful! The ground of the school are looking very nice with the woods and work being done on the path to make it easier for wheelchair access... i think anyways. Haha

I sit here listening to Enya.. and could possibly do with a sleep. I cleaned the flat today and i also worked this morning when they were short staffed at the pool.. first weekend work. WOW

I actually prefer working during the week tbh, but it was interesting none the less.

The first two weeks back at work were amazing tiring, which ended up with me neglecting anything computer wise and distressing my family :P Sorry but relaxing was just so much easier...

I slept well and although i had energy, i did so much during the day that seems when i think about it.. like not a lot, however it is and you get very tired by the time your finished work. I dealt with my first number 2 in the bathrooms... isn't lucky the window was open? Yep!

So... nairns oatcakes = YUMMY

We has our first fire drill sine i've been here, which is kind of scary since i've been here since Jan, I was just getting out of the pool and so stood dripping in a towel with a tshirt which was getting wet from my swimmers on. People though this was rather amusing..

Just has an amazing dinner with the Bracken's and also Olivia's BF.... Dinner, Chatting an 80yr with a wonderful voice of Britain's got talent.. the trampoline and dessert :)

Mum and Dad, when i get back i'm gonna get a trampoline :D hehe
