Baggy's got the travel bug.

This hot weather is just not British. Baggy is rubbish in the heat. She got quite poorly last night. Her own stupid fault of course for letting Creative Clara paint the summerhouse in the worst of it. She's stayed out of it today, but she still doesn't feel too great. She resorted to having a cool shower and washing her hair to try to cool down a bit. Ridiculous. Even more ridiculous when you appreciate that most Brits thought that autumn had arrived last week. Anyway, the heat's addled Baggy's brain, because she's only just remembered that Clara hadn't blogged today - so here goes.

Not that she has a huge amount to say. It's been a bit of a none day really. Grotty Groom had intended going to ride the Boy Wessles, but Clever Bird didn't want him or Baggy to keel over with heat stroke, so she hasn't been. As they're now out during the day, she couldn't even have a cuddle with him unless she'd stood in his paddock in the sun. But she's planning on starting to look after them again fairly soon, so then she'll see the Boys every day. Meanwhile, Baggy is so exited about the latest member of the family who arrives tomorrow - Billy-Bob Jalopy should be coming home in the morning. As it's a Bank Holiday weekend in the UK, Baggy and Calum have decided to head off with Minty Mutt for the weekend and check out what we need in him. Baggy is soooooo excited!


She's already packed a little picnic basket of plastic plates etc and dug out some bedding. When Clever Bird can see just how much storage space she has to play with, when he comes home tomorrow, she'll work out what else can go in. But for once, Baggy is going to attempt to travel light - yeah right! She'll try to remember to get Clara to pack the laptop and a dongle, otherwise Baggy might be off-grid for a bit. Baggy, Calum and Minty Mutt's first ever holiday away together! The closest they've come before was house-hunting in Wales (three-and-a-half years ago), so this is hopefully the start of proper holidays.

Grotty will miss seeing the Boys, but as she couldn't have ridden this weekend anyway (too much stuff happening at the yard), it's a good weekend to go. No idea where, but who cares when you have a camper.........
