Wild Ponies

Photo by Juliette Mills @juliettemills2014 Wild Ponies on the moor this evening. So nice to get home after a 5 hour drive from London. A flying visit and great fun to see all the family, but always a relief to get away from the M25 motorway in thick traffic and find ourselves again on the …

Cuddles

Photo by Juliette Mills @juliettemills2014 My nephew Luke and Delilah first thing this morning. Delilah is a very old, wise and gentle Great Dane and is a bit like the elderly great grandmother of our extended family, that everyone loves and has huge respect for. We know she hasn’t got long to live… 10 is …

Nieces

Photo by Juliette Mills @juliettemills2014 My three sweeter than sweet nieces… so happy to get together.

Saxon

Another moment from the moor this evening. Saxon, my eldest son, is always cuddling his pony. And when he does, his pony stands still and gazes out at the view each time. It’s a special thing to be able to see so far, once we get up there. And it seems the ponies feel this …

From the moor

Live from the moor… straight from my phone. It’s a gorgeous evening and I met the boys at the gate off the school bus with saddles at the ready. The weather today has been rain, sun, rain, sun.. so I thought we’d make the most of the gaps in the clouds and head out. They’ll …
