Hi Hayley,

hope you're feeling better now. I love the latest photos - especially the quokka!! The polo pics are brilliant and I love the dress you're wearing at the polo.

Enjoy Sydney!

Hi H.

Ta for your post card. I've sent you a text - not sure if you'll get it but just wanted to let you know that Benson and I did our first dresage test last week. It was the Have a Go class of Macc Riding club and he won it!!! 61.4% which apparently is very good! He is definately growing up now. Today we are getting a lift up to Alderly Edge and going for a hack round the lanes to celebrate my birthday!

Hope all is well with you.

All my love, Chris xxx

Hi Hayley.

Thanks for the postcard,sounds as if you had some bad luck with the car at least you are all right so no harm done .Xmas card on its way to you, hope it gets to you

Look after yourself BYE

Hi Hayley,

Hope things are okay and you have sorted the car fiasco out, have spent most of this week trying to drown out the fireworks by playing very loud music, my neighbours must love me! Don't suppose they celebrate bonfire night in Aus do they? Take care lots of love Elainex

Hi Hayley

Now then H,

Don't faint with the shock of me writing to you! This is a new experiencce for me and not half as exciting as the ones you seem to be having, however I've taken the opportunity to read your blog as I'm at your house.

Since I last spoke to you all those months ago things have been progressing steadily in a positive mode for me. Benson and I have been having regular lessons and he is maturing nicely - you probably wouldn't recognise his physic as he now as a bottom and a neck. Last week he was fully clipped and looks very smart and this week he travelled in a horsebox to Alderly and we went for a hack round the lanes there. If / when you return you'll have to either have a ride or come out with me he is very good!

Your adventures sound fantastic, so keep safe and have fun!

All my love,

Chris xxxx.

Hey

Great to see these new pictures. It all looks very beautiful and you look very cool behind the wheel of the horsebox! And tanned... Shame the car blew up but these things happen: forget about it, look for the next chance and remember how lucky you are! Some of us are having to go through winter (not me, I'm off to California for a month). So love you loads H and I'll call you soon. XXXXXXX
