Chapter 34

The spa was beautiful and both me and Lori had loved it, we had spent the rest of the week on various different days out but yesterday she went back home, as she was starting her new job, but I would miss her, it had been so good catching up.

It was so weird esme and myself had got used to having lots of people in and out, plus now belle had moved out there were even fewer people. Both of us missed her so much but we knew that she was enjoying herself, and we all were slowly moving away. Change is an odd thing it takes forever to get used to and when u go finally are it all changes again.

At the moment my main concern was sorting everything out for the Christmas plan with my auntie and as well as that I had the thought of how I would break it to the others about the baby. There was only so much longer I could hide it and I would rather I told them than they guessed, I thought they would take it okay I mean actually I had no clue to be fair on how they might react.

I had a long lists of things that my auntie wanted me to get for teddy and crackle there was everything from a rug to matching saddle pads and had covers. She said she would come with me but she was without a car as my uncle was at work so I booked a taxi to pick us both up.

We browsed the aisle filled with synthetic saddle and cute little overreach boots. After 2 and a half hours we had an expensive trolley filled with pretty much everyhing she needed. I swear that side of the family were made of money on top of that there land was being converted into a yard and they were picking everything and anything up.

We then got another taxi over to the yard as I was going to take her to see teddy and crackle for the hundreth time, but this time we were going to go for a ride. I tacked up teddy and we checked that everythig that had been brought on both him and the Shetland before I lead him out kitted out with pretty much the latest everything. I had been teaching both my aunt and uncle how to care for them and other bits and pieces like lunging. The parents officially went through tomorrow but they would stay at the yard here until Christmas.

As per usual teddy was a star and we popped a few fences in the school before I got my auntie on him. When we had finished I left her to untack and rug him up whilst I gave sugar a good groom and put her new rug on for her. Once we had both finished up I helped to take everyhing back o my aunties as Eddie came to pick us up.

We had a lovely meal there before we left to got back to the apartment. I was absolutely shattered so gave in and went to bed after checking that Esmeralda was okay. Eddie was staying tonight and tomorrow we had a day in other than going out in the afternoon to see the ponies, and he wanted to keep his 15.1 Welsh x th fit for the competition he had coming up.

The nights were getting colder and slowly the evening were becpmig darker soi liked to make sure everyone was okay not stuck outside with no key or something.

As I dozed for a while I also thought about a house me and Eddie had been looking at it was on the outskirts of London but had a lot of land meaning we could have a livery yard there to make a bit of money as well as being able to school in any disapline, and already had a lot of facilities like a mile all weather track hurdles show jumps and xc fences that could be included for a additional cost. Twice we had been to see it however that was the only one we had looked at and I wanted to Sorel to thé others first plus was it the right thing to do near to chriatmas?
