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!

I need to talk about turning into my mother. It’s frightening.

I made it into the ring. It was as nervewracking as ever.

Even in the rain, even when the stallholders wake me RIDICULOUSLY early in the mornings setting up below the bedroom window, I love this road and all its quirks and all its treasures. It’s a daily treat walking Betty down it when I am in London, market open or not. #nottinghill #portobellomarket #london
‘Always remember that you matter, you’re important and you’re loved. Your presence on this earth makes a difference whether you see it or not’. They may be Milne’s words but they’re my message, as one person who has felt what it means to think very little of yourself to another who might be feeling the same way. #itsokaynottobeokay #worldsmentalhealthday #sharetheload
Yesterday I experienced an entirely different sort of sporting event to track. Luckily it was a lovely, sunny day so I had a great time supporting these two besties in the Cardiff Half Marathon. 1.36 for @rhysmaelgwyn and 1.46 for Ed. Not a bad effort! You can tell from his posing that one was definitely chuffed with himself...! 🤦‍♀️🤣Well done boys! 🙌#cardiffhalfmarathon #cardiffhalf2019 #running #bestfriendgoals
Three days later, having survived precious little sleep, walked miles, turned our stomachs in knots, used a gallon of @mpglossproductsuk coat gloss, a mountain of Xtremesocks whitener, and consumed our weight in toasties, @maggie_simons and I are on our way home from HOYS. All three ponies were called forwards into the top 10, an achievement not to be scoffed at for two sisters who generally feel they haven’t a clue what they’re doing, toughing it out against the pros! 22,000 equines of all shapes and sizes attempted qualification this year but only 1600 made it. To have three take home prizes is something we’re so grateful for, especially to the ponies themselves. Prince, Paps, and Lolli, thank you so much. #hoys2019 #horseoftheyearshow #welshponies #showponies #poniesofinstagram #sistersquad
For the first time at @hoysofficial , @maggie_simons and I, and all three of our neds, will be donning our @thedpjfoundation badges. If you haven’t heard of the foundation before, it’s a mental health charity operating in rural Wales. Its founder Emma, as well as her team, work tirelessly to raise awareness of mental health issues in rural communities as well as support those in need. We’re super proud to be championing such an important service. #mentalhealthawareness #thedpjfoundation #itsokaynottobeokay #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthsupport #sharetheload
Throwback to last Thursday when I was in sunny Santorini with @rhysmaelgwyn , wearing my favourite #rixo dress in the whole wide world! Swipe to see the difference 1 week and 1700 miles can do for my sartorial choices. But @hoysofficial is nearly here and prep is calling for me to tough out rain and get ready! #hoysbound19 #hoysbound #holidayblues #takemebacktosantorini
