A self-confessed country bumpkin and lover of all things equine, I have suddenly found myself doing what I swore I never would: attempting to navigate living in the smoke.
Before I met Rhys, my annual journeys to London were made under duress and exclusively to compete at Olympia horse show. So as I try to juggle life with my very country hobbies, I fear this sheep could become very lost indeed!

Back when my greatest concerns were getting out of the calf shed and back to the flat in Notting Hill on time to meet these two, and not get nail varnish on my clothes while painting my toes on the tube. #adifferentworld #countrylifestyle #countrylifeproblems #countrygirlatheart #welsh
Her ploy to get her beak in some milk: passing herself off as a calf. Hunting eggs became tricky. #farmlife #chickensofinstagram #countrylife #countryliving #calving #calvingseason #spring #springtime #springonfarm #welshcountryside
I can’t believe this was only a year ago! It feels like it was a different lifetime! Roll on a time when we can all party like this again; what a night! #countrylife #cantwaittogooutagain #funtimes
So nice to feel the sun shine on us today. My daily dose of calm courtesy of Red Rain. #springiscoming #blueskies #countrylife #countryliving #horsey #poniesofinstagram #countryviews #welshcountryside
The sweetest little thing! Can’t resist a kiss and face wash from this little one even if her tongue is so rough it feels like exfoliation. #cutie #calvesofinstagram #calving2021 #calvingtime #springiscoming #countrylife #countrygirl #februdairy
Happy valentines and galentines from me and my palentines. Too cold and wet to ride so took five to share some love with two of the best. #happyvalentinesday #sharethelove #pals
新年快乐!Happy new year! Got the Sichuan paste out as a nod to Chinese new year. Then I almost burned the aubergine while failing to find the chopsticks. Still, included a photo as evidence I bothered, along with one of my first attempt to use said missing cutlery once upon a time in a land far far away when we were allowed to visit #happychinesenewyear2021 #fridayfails #hopethisyearwillbebetter
A morning editing my latest contribution to @leaf_education ’s Storytime on the Farm initiative. Such fun! And obviously, when Dan heard that a grey horse comes to the rescue in the story, he couldn’t wait to be involved! Just to clarify, the carrots had nothing to do with his eagerness to be involved.
So chuffed with the iPad’s choice of featured photos today I could send it a card and flowers. #throwback to 2018, winning an ENORMOUS @hoysofficial qualifier before going on to stand Champion at @greatyorkshireshow and a mammoth drive back to Pembs that night so we could catch a Benidorm-bound-bus for a hen-do. What a week! I ❤️GYS and can’t wait to go back when normality returns. #throwbackthursday #precovidmemories #greatyorkshireshow #welshsectiond #welshcob #winnerwinnerchickendinner #winner #champion #welshcobsofinstagram #countrylife #countrygirl #horseygirl
The photo is an old one, but today marks 6 months till we say ‘I do’. But, it’s that time of year and the engagement ring is off! Follow the link in bio to find out why!! #sixmonthstogo #covidbride #covidwedding #bridetobe #tobeornottobe #engaged #2021wedding
Porridge: A shamefully underrated breakfast classic and personal favourite. Pimping my breakfast has become something of a lockdpwn hobby. Not sure what I will do when shows return and breakfast is a 5am scotch egg stuffed down my throat while driving a truck and trying to avoid crumbs in my lap. #breakfasttime #breakfastisthemostimportantmealoftheday #sundayvibes #chill #lockdown2021 #lockdownhobby
Happy birthday to this legend. It’s hard to believe that he’s been gone 368 days. In some ways, I think I’m glad he didn’t have to see out the pandemic, as he would have hated being kept still, and as someone who couldn’t bear having his ears touched, he would have despised wearing masks! Still, we miss him. Penblwydd hapus, Dadcu. I hope there’s a whiskey or two awaiting you. @maggie_simons @simonsdelyth @lowrillew @geraint10llew @therealgarethllew . #grandparentsarethebest
