Today was the 3 year anniversary of the start of our HE journey. N's last day of school was the 20th March 2008. Grandma commented yesterday it has passed very quickly and N's reply was "Yep and I'm never going back". I said "lets see how you feel as you get older". At the moment I certainly have no plans to be sending N to school unless she feels it is something she really wants to do.
We went to the
Horse Trust in Speen this afternoon. It is a lovely place, they have over 100 horses there living out their days. We met our friend there, whose horse is retiring there after 20 years at Riding For The Disabled. We took along a sack of carrots. It is free entry, but as they are a charity they really appreciate donations. N does have a fur allergy with cats and horses being the worst reactions, but we haven't been near horses for over 12 months so it was about time we tested it to see if it was better. N got stuck in straight away and started to groom one of the horses......
Quite soon after she had an allergic reaction :( and we had to leave. On the way home we drove past
Hellfire Caves which I have never heard of before. I have had a look at their website and it looks great, just not sure N is ready for that yet ;) The allergic reaction had exhausted N and she came home and sat quietly drawing in the homeschool room. After our celebratory dinner we played card games and read another chapter of our book club book
Dealing With Dragons, which we are really enjoying, its starting off as a great story, drawing us in right from the start.
oh poor N. Hope she is feeling better now. How frustrating if you love a certain animal, but you can't be near them. :(
ReplyDeleteHellfire caves certainly sound interesting..
