What Its All About

I had one of those moments the other day.

When you remember what it's all about, and why you bother.

I had been out for an organised evening ride on the western part of the moor near Tavistock, everyone was heading for home, and the time had come for Panda and me to turn around and return, alone, to our trailer.

Perfect Panda, who hadn't been out with other horses for months, was fed up that she had been made to go so slowly, for such a long ride. As we turned,  she leaped into a fast gallop, flying across heather, gorse, ditches, bogs and rocks, the sun sinking slowly behind us, and the colours of the moor gradually mutating from greyish into dark greens, yellows, oranges and deep reds.   I remembered how to go with the flow and not fall off, as we careered as one at 30mph, to the battered old trailer, finally reaching the oasis which is our beautiful home, uniquely located right in the middle of the moor, bathed in moonlight.

    Mary, Mower of the Moor

    Four hours before Mary's first guest was due to arrive - Alastair Sawday himself - she was still working out how to turn on the hoover, and contemplating the ordeal of mowing her garden herself for the first time.

    The original blog follows a family coming to terms with marital breakdown, and the resulting emergence of Wydemeet B&B, from conception and its first shaky steps.  It has now been turned into a book: "Surviving Solo", by Mary Nicholson, available through Amazon.

    But if it takes her mood, Mary continues to add to the blog from time to time.
