The Beast from the East seems to have missed us for the moment, fingers crossed it continues that way. The boys are getting on with topping up the woodchip and it looks sure to be finished by tomorrow evening – doesn’t it Ed?

All the horses cantered various distances on the sand, nothing got away with less than 2 miles, many did 3.5 miles.

There was great excitement this afternoon having Sky Q installed, the voice recognition channel changer is a very good. Sky Q is totally dependent on broadband, all connections had been lost and the screens had gone down when I’m came back in. A little bit of rebooting and the problem was solved. We now have Racing UK on 3 screens in the house, Sophie will love it.  Unless you have super fast fibre optic broadband, I would not recommend Sky Q.

Herminator arrived today from Willie Mullins, David Dundson has very kindly given us the opportunity to train him, both David and Willie think he will have more opportunities in the UK.
