Donna Rowland and I floated her stockhorse Claude and my pony Beauty to the Golfcourse at Heywood and set off for what turned out to be a fabulous ride heading south. The tracks were great and mostly sandy and we happened upon one which was freshly graded sand. With hardly any wind and no rain we rode through one section of the bush which was really quite dark where the canopy was quite dense.
News of Laddie at Frank Bell's is that he gave Brendon a few bucks which nearly unseated him down the driveway during his first week. Brendon says he has a fair bit of spirit.

Riding at one of our favourite beaches,Narrawong Victoria

Saturday 22, March 2008

Bridget and I went riding on Dom and Prince at Narrawong Beach. We had difficulty at first to get along the sand as the horses prefered to stay well up on the beach. After a while we were able to ask for a trot and canter and the two obliged. They were not going down near the water under any circumstances this time unless we dismounted. Next time will be better.

Ride at Narrawong Beach, Victoria

Kelly on Luna leading Beauty


Today was unseasonly hot for March so Kelly Edwards and I headed down to Narrawong to ride along the beach through the shallows. It was a glorious morning and we had the beach to ourselves apart from Danny Ross from Heywood who was surf fishing. We trotted and cantered through the water for five or six kilometres

27thFebruary 2008 Bridget's Birthday at the Swiss Club in Melbourne

Bridget, Tim Suhr, Peter and Liz respectively

Our very small family celebrated Bridget's birthday at the Swiss Club. We headed off from Allestree at 5 AM and drove down to Melbourne and arrived in time for breakfast. Peter had booked the Swiss Club Restaurant for a special evening as a surprise but we were soon sprung when we headed down Russell St., We invited Tim, who shares the flat with Bridget and soon pulled into the Grand Hyatt car park. She guessed where we were going almost immediately.

We arrived at this very quiet exclusive little eating place and perused the menu.
I was going to order one dozen snails for entree and venison for main and sat back to listen to the others discussing their options.

Bridget and Peter decided on the Cheese Fondue for main and Tim ordered the Pork Schnitzel
and what a delightful meal it was with Swiss Club members playing cards on some of the other tables.
