We arrived home yesterday night after 16 hours of travelling from our Cretan holiday. Quite an exhausting day but not as eventful as our trip out (details in another post.). Here are just a few photos (from the hundreds I took) to give a hint of what is to come.
The cooler seas and cloudier skies of the first two weeks were more than made up for by the carpets of wild flowers growing everywhere. Even the roadsides were a riot of colourful blooms on the trees and bushes.
My riding adventures took me to a high plateau right up in the mountains where the scenery was absolutely spectacular.
Of course I went riding this morning. I didn't have Tex as it's half-term and he was needed for a number of half hour lessons/ lead rein rides. Instead I rode Betsi, a pretty grey Arab mare. She used to belong to a friend of Iola's who became ill and sadly passed away. Betsi is 18, well schooled and reliable with a typically arab floaty trot which made today's lesson working on bending, corners and some leg yielding relatively easy.
After riding I did the usual shopping and booked an appointment at the dentist. I was due a check up and unfortunately I broke a tooth (my one chewing tooth) on holiday. That's going to be more expense.
Can't type any more as half the time it's coming out a gobbledegook. Back tomorrow.
