FATE.....

Has struck again!!.....After letting the ponies go Di got in touch and offered to take me with the trailer to collect them (She will not be doing that again) A quick phone call to see if they were still available we arranged to collect them Sunday. All day Saturday was spent re-doing the fencing just changing the height of the wire, filling water buckets ready for their arrival.

Off we went on Sunday only to break down on the freeway BIG THUD but didn't seem to be the engine. Di sprung into action and before we knew it the car was on the back of a truck, trailer hitched to the back, a short wait at the recovery dept then on our way back home at alarming speed in a taxi with trailer behind. Di was a star and I would have been hopeless in that situation.  Once home a quick phone call to the pony owner who was not pleased at waiting in all day I let them go for a second time......I had not seen them so I bet they had 3 legs and no head!

"Bolton" replied R and where did she come from........ROCHDALE!! its a small world
