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!

Broken bone prevents play. And blogging.

On worrying that I am losing my mind.

I am so lucky that all I need to take my mind off the mess that our world is in right now is the ponies and blue sky. It’s not always been that simple though, so I know first hand how important it is to have the right support. That’s why I think the work that the #dpjfoundation does for our Welsh farming community is so incredibly important, and why we’re proud to display their badge wherever we go with the ponies. So if you’re struggling and isolation has made things seem even worse, make sure you reach out. #sharetheload #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthsupport #countrysideliving
It’s #waybackwednesday ! And it’s also @maggie_simons ‘s birthday! The first photo is obviously us when she was a baby, and the last is us together earlier this year. From when she was a little one right through till now, she’s been the best little sister and sidekick I could imagine. Anyone game for guessing the year the first photo was taken...? #sisterlove #happybirthdaytoyou
More than ever today, I am feeling so incredibly lucky to be able to access all of this wonderful green space from home. Even more so, I am feeling grateful that I can do this with my best friend and little sister beside me. My heart goes out to all of those feeling lonely and isolated. Please reach out to someone if you are. There is always an ear ready to listen. And of course, we are thinking about all of the amazing NHS staff that will see us through this, and all of the families suffering with this dreadful infection. Much love everyone, stay safe. #whattodoonlockdown #stayathome #socialdistancing #countrygirl #pembrokeshire #pembrokeshirelife #wales
‘Corona what?’ said the cow? ‘Corona who?’ said the sheep? It was hard to believe there was anything wrong with the world with the sky above so blue yesterday. Let’s see what today brings, though I fear it will be bad news. Still, life on farm will carry on much the same regardless, but with less visitors at the table. #covid_19 #farminguk #familyfarm #spring
Fluffy doggy + pink faux fur collar = a vision so cute it hurts. I actually nearly melted. 🥰🥰🥰 #cavapoosofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #cute
Time to head back for home. Notting Hill is pretty cool, but who can resist little faces like this one? I’m looking forwards to seeing how much they have grown in just the three days I have been away, and how many extras there are for me to meet! #countrygirl #farminguk #farmingfamily #britishfarming
Turns out there were more photos than I thought! I clearly had more 🥂🥂 than I thought as I have zero recollection of these ones! Oops! #welsh #walesweeklondon #stdavidsday2020
So it was a quick dash from the stables and calf shed yesterday morning back to London for the #walesweeklondon #stdavidsday2020 celebration dinner in the beautiful Guild Hall. I didn’t manage to get a photo with Rhys as he was far too busy chatting but I did steal his bezzie, Ed, for one, and managed to catch them both mid-flow double quick. I really do need to get better at remembering to get photos, just at the time I’m too busy enjoying! They did manage to take a lovely one of me though, painting my toenails on the tube! I caught a glimpse of the calluses on my hands later on and thought, ‘hey ho, clearly you can only fake it so far’! #welsh #countrygirlatheart
