This last week has gone by in a real hurry and I have enjoyed my week off just relaxing and catching up with myself but what a shock to be faced with the end of the year already. Actually, if the truth be known, Iam quite happy for the end of this year to come around so that we can get on with a brand new year.
I dont normally indulge in new year resolutions, however, Iam going to with 2007 and will make sure that I actually do something about them for a change. What are they? Well, you will have to wait until 2007 to find out!
Christmas was a very relaxing occasion for us as we went over to our neighbours and indulged in lots of food and drink that lasted until about 10pm, and then we had to negotiate to get through Oscar's paddock to get home (which was an interesting feat in itself!).
Today sees a new arrival at Massie Lodge with Stars O' Gold (pictured above) arriving for a 4 week holiday before heading off to his new trainer. Talk about an impressive looking boy ... who seems to have made friends with his next door neighbour, Oscar already. The Dirty Girl is none too impressed about that as Oscar is her close companion and she really doesnt want to share him with anyone!
All residents are doing very well, despite the lack of rain (has anyone seen any lost rain about?) and our 2 babies, Isabell and Lucy are growing up quickly and have realised that its every filly for themselves at feed time with both mums trying to control how close they get to the feed bins. I can see that Sweetie is getting pretty sick of sharing her feed with Lucy, however, Lucy has sorted out her mum by continually moving around to get closer to the feed. Isabell does not have the patience of Lucy and goes off and gets into the hay before the 2 mums get stuck into that as well.
Adam will be due back in the next week to take of Stars' shoes and to start the trimming process again with Sweetie and Libby first cabs off the rank.
Time for me to go and join Evan in the living room but before I go, we would like to wish everyone a very safe and joyous new year filled with lots of love and happiness. See you in 2007!

Hey there
I just love you blog, been reading it since about August, and I went thru and read your previous posts. I just love Isabell and Lucy, so happy that you got 2 fillys! I just wanted to know, what happened to young Billy, Nannas little boy, I hope all is well with him. I look forward to more blogs and good times on Massie Lodge! Would love to come out one day and show my lil girl around, shes only 3months at the moment.
All the best for a great year ahead!
