Easter Weekend
4 of our closest friends and Greg and I went into the mountains for Easter weekend. The scenery is absolutely stunning up there, but boy, was it cold!!! I sat under the blanket by the fire reading my book with a glass of red wine for most of the time whilst the boys were out fly fishing. But, I did get off my behind long enough to go horse riding!!! Yes folks - HORSE RIDING. Now, this was a huge deal for me as I have NEVER ridden a horse before let alone after having a stroke!!! So, Greg drags me up to the stables, has a chat with the groomsman and off we go!!!! It wasn't a very elegant ascent onto the horse, but once I was up there holding on for dear life, I was OK!! My horse was the oldest they had, so I was quite confident she wouldn't take off at a high speed and she didn't, she was super. We clip clopped our way over a mountain trail for 2 hours - it was fantastic. But, when I got off the horse, my legs didn't want to work - they were like jelly!!!! It was a fantastic weekend.
