To Kick These People Out #3 - the countdown begins

The Beginning

The Middle

The end?

So... Long story short... There are horses, soon there should not be (I'm not good at summaries, they make me sound unreasonable).

We have a date! This Saturday! The horses should be taken away to pastures new, so we can roam the meadow in gingham dresses (dh looks good in a gingham dress) and we can have FuckYouFestivals to our heart's content.

There will be choirs and drums and bands and weapons and stackable goats and so much more!

Anyone who's read the threads knows I love a lurker. I can you see you out there. Go on, jump in while the thread's all new and shiny. You know you want to Wink

Good for RL, hope the padlock's on?

Sauv, padlock is on. It can't have been easy for her to come back, but she was very lovely and said that stallion was happy going in the box and seemed ready for a new space. Which seemed a good positive spin to put on it.

Fantastic news Flowers and Cake all round - including to RL.

Just got up from sick-bed to view half my fence splintered all over garden - sod it..! I'll break it up and bring it for the bonfire at the festival....... Smile

Misc :) thank you. Well I can't disappear completely. There's still a trailer to be removed. And a shelter to possibly be dismantled.

Sorry I couldn't check in before. Adventure Island re-opened today, and it would have taken waaay worse weather to excuse not going. DS may have killed us in our sleep if we'd reneged.

Am home and cosy and finally catching up - WaHEEEEEYYY! Am confused, though - what's left for RL to be intermediary about? And what's the deadline for that?

And will see PP's coffee with Baileys and raise you:

Coffee
Baileys Chocolate
Amaretto
Spray whipped cream

Freaking gorgeous. You lot are so inspiring!

Pedant, I want that! I want that now!

Trailer and shelter. Well, maybe shelter.

RL asked us if we wanted it or not, we said we weren't really fussed. RL built it and put a lot of effort in before UW was on the scene. She said she wasn't sure she had the energy to organise it being moved, but would if we wanted her to. I get the feeling she has had a lot of hassle with UW, and doesn't want to deal with her more than she has to.

The trailer is pretty stuck at the moment due to the wetness, so as soon as it's dry that'll go. UW owns it but RL said she's happy to arrange anything and everything. She thanked us for our patience and all the time we had given.

She added that she wasn't sure if companion horse and UW would ultimately stay with stallion, as she wasn't certain they were the right type of companion.

Worst case scenario we dump the trailer in the layby, lock the gate and tell RL we're keeping the shelter.

Dh just turned to me and said "it's really all ours now"

And he's right!

I wonder if the stallion would get quickly tired of UW?

RL does sound lovely :)

Meerka, we're lucky that RL was involved. She was clearly the driving force since UW couldn't even be bothered to get out of bed this morning
