Good morning.
Happy Saturday.
It's June already, almost time for school summer holidays to start. When you were a kid how did you spend your summer?
From the age of about 12 I used to live a short walk from the local riding stables. I used to spend most weekend and nearly all of my summer holiday at the stables. The "pony girls" did a lot of the hard work there. Mucking out, sweeping the yard, cleaning all the saddles and bridles and catching the ponies first thing in the morning. It was hard work, but we really enjoyed it. Particularly in the summer when the stable owners would organise a day long picnic-ride as a way of thanking us for our help.
How about you, how did you spend your summers?
