Ref. to Lil's age, I suppose if you've been riding forever it's better than walking for the arthritis. I don't know though I haven't ridden for years. (I haven't got arthritis btw!) It might be bad for the hips of both of them though.!

Thus limiting any other actions planned Blush Shock

"women make bad choices sometimes, but that doesn't mean they don't know about predator proofing"

Pseudo wouldn't that make a lovely thread title?

GypsyFl0ss · 23/01/2016 14:35

Small like that one too! If fact I love that I can read the Rob-speak ones so clearly in his voice.

ppeatfruit · 23/01/2016 14:46

Yes I like the 'predator proofing' one too TopOfCliff .

I haven't heard yesterday's yet but just looked at Lowfield:

'What Amside is doing is a part of keeping a community together'

What is Amside doing? It hasn't really been mentioned since Tiger's flit, has it? Confused

BYOSnowman · 23/01/2016 16:29

It's renting out homes to all levels of society and keeping them in their communities. Apparently

I was waiting for all the 'landlords are scum' opinion holders to froth about his piece!!

FinestGrundyTurkey · 23/01/2016 16:29

The Queen still rides regularly afaik & she's nearly 90 so it must be good for her Grin

FinestGrundyTurkey · 23/01/2016 16:31

but who is doing the work, BYOS? Anthea left quite soon didn't she & nobody ever says 'oh Lilian's really busy with Amside'!

BYOSnowman · 23/01/2016 16:49

Buy to let runs itself dahling.

Yes it's amazing how lil is running am side during her morning coffee but rob and Helen are exhausted from having to share a part time job in a local shop

It's almost as if the sw/ed have never actually had a proper job....

Eddie Mair is discussing EA & The Hellin/Knob storyline on iPM.

enochroot · 23/01/2016 18:21

Amside didn't help the Grundy family!

Scarydinosaurs · 23/01/2016 19:32

Where can we listen to iPM? Is it available as a podcast?

EBearhug · 23/01/2016 20:05

It's on LA - www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06wj90z

BBC podcasts are all here - www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts

Stickerrocks · 23/01/2016 22:38

Half of iPM is devoted to podcasts & how to get them!

Travelledtheworld · 24/01/2016 00:04

Thanks for the Point to Point info Gruach.
I don't really go back that far, though I was around in 1971.

Travelledtheworld · 24/01/2016 00:06

...and with regard to riding, I know several people in their late 70's who ride, usually slowly. It's mounting and dismounting that tends to be a problem with stiff knees and hips.

FinestGrundyTurkey · 24/01/2016 00:38

the Queen has A Knee Thing apparently

& tbf in the most recent pic I've seen of her on horseback she doesn't look relaxed or comfortable

but I am in awe of her still doing it

Is this an innuendo thing ?

Is Pseudo on holiday ?

DadDadDad statistically are we OK ?

LillianGish · 24/01/2016 06:30

I'd like to vote for Gruach's no need to share the thread with anyone else. Incredible to think that not only has Lillian been helping Kate out with her yurts, but also been single-handed in complete control of Amside - a company which used to provide full time employment for Matt, Brenda (then Anthea) and Lillian - yet she still manages to be under Brian's feet most of the time at Home Farm. It's the Ambridge fairy again. Is Justin coming in to replace Oliver and Matt?
