Sunshine... too dancing and irresponsible a thing for a world which was meant to be taken seriously…”

A slight misquote from Anne of Green Gables by L.M Montgomery.

This morning, at 6.30 when I got up to see to the horses, it was still nearly dark, it was sleeting, foggy and murky and even morning person me had a bit of a joie de vivre by-pass.

Mood not improved by the knee-deep mud in the field to be slogged through when putting the hay out. Not to mention the welly full of icy water...

But then, the sun came out!

Me. Suddenly. All dancing and irresponsible like the sunshine.

A two hour hack across the forest on Alfie with his rain-washed mane dried in the warmth of the sun, flowing silky shiny blackness.

And...

All's well with the world!
