La Gacilly

One of the nice things about taking The Thirteen Year Old to school (apart from seeing deer to salivate over), is that I can stop off and have a coffee in the bar/PMU afterwards.

I see it as my little treat for driving all that way through blizzard conditions on little lanes that haven’t been resurfaced since Hadrian was up this way!

I love sitting in the bar with a coffee and watching the world go by.  The same people are there every day, all planning which horses they are going to love their money on and all willing to have a little chat about the blizzard conditions and the state of the back lanes which haven’t been resurfaced since….

I was very worried that I was going to need a Liver Transplant (which would involve lots of internal medical stuff), and… undoubtedly, loads of injections!

Mondays are difficult for us as we have to start out by packing (for freezing) anything that we put into the fridge at the end of the day on the previous Friday. When I say ‘fridge’, don’t think of your kitchen fridge, think instead, of a fridge the size of Basingstoke!
