Well my Yeti went back to school this morning rather reluctantly, mind you I can't blame him as it was dark, windy and cold. I saw him onto his bus and told him to watch out for flying trees and roof tiles (we live in Scotland where the wind has been very bad) he just looked at me as though I were mad, but I did get I love you so he is forgiven.
Our New Years Eve day was pretty uneventful, we are lucky enough to live on a beautiful country estate in a 18th century cottage (we are not posh, we are just the folk that try to stop the place from falling down and paying through the nose for it) anyway we love the old place even though its freezing cold and always looks like it needs decorating, we manage to make it cosy in the winter, but come the summer the whole estate comes to life, with its rivers (there are three don't you know LOL) a farm and the old stable yard. There are about five horses stabled in at night out through the day. Also we have as many private estates do the Big Hoose where the people who own the estate live, lovely people, who love to shoot, have large parties and wear tweed you know the kind.
Anyway back to new years night, there had been a pheasant shoot on through the day and the big hoose was throwing a party at night. Myself and other half had had a lovely super and Yeti was still in his cave only coming out to feed, sat down to some film on tv, both fell asleep but were awoken to fireworks going off from big hoose, ah that's nice I thought, looked out of window but couldn't see much, so off to bed for us but the stables are next to our cottage and you can hear the horses moving about and as the fireworks got louder and our dog started to howl, the horses were becoming more and more restless, so the only thing to do was get the gumboots on top of PJ's and go and check on our four hoofed friends two of which are very old, I kept thinking I was going to walk in to a stiff horse with its legs in the air but although a little disturbed and a bit spooked we made everything alright with a few loving kisses and lots of carrots. What a way to spend new year, in the S..T !!!!!!!!!
