Title: WELCOME BACK ANNA !!!!!!!!!
Post by: dcwolcott on April 29, 2016, 08:19:41 AM
Oh, my dearest friend, I am SOOOOOOO VERY GLAD to see you here!!

We have a lovely group of new friends, and many old friends that we have been sharing with and watching for years!  This is a group of wonderful chatters, sharing and growing to become friends!  A mirror of the "old forum".

You'll find Cassie has registered, and Heidi, and of course, Renee!  And you won't believe all the new friends you'll meet here!   

YOU HAVE BEEN MISSED!!!!

~~Diane

Hi to all my dear friends - at last I've arrived!!  Boy have I missed you lot so a HUGE THANKS to Diane for taking the trouble to set up this new Nursery, a place where we can watch and help foals, their Mommas and their 'worried' owners.  :)  But also a place where we can share news, general chat, pictures of other animals/families, limericks (come on Heidi!) etc., just as we always did.
Life here has carried on much as usual - cant remember now what I last posted, but nearly a couple of years ago we sold part of the farm (to help with old age creeping on, to help finances and beause the young members of the family moved on to deal with their own lives). So we now have some really super new neighbours who keep an eye on me and offer help if it is needed.  I'm still living in my trusty old caravan, Bessie, but we hope to get the old barn converted this summer - not too sure that I'm looking forward to all that extra 'housekeeping' once I move in, Bessie is so easy to keep tidy and organised.
Still have 28 mini mares and 6 boys - Ansel, Dragon and Spotbum will never leave us but the 3 younger lads could really be finding new good homes before long if possible.  The last two foals we had are now coming 2 year olds and we have no intention of breeding any this year for next - the barn conversion is going to be the most important thing on our agenda for now.
So that's my news for now - what have you lot all been up to, has anything changed for you, what are your plans for this year/next year??  Come on tell all.   ;)
As a quick extra I will just add that if I 'go awol' it will be due to my old laptop playing up and not because I'm ignoring you, I do have to fight with it a bit, but will do my best to keep it operational.  ;D

Oh Anna, it is so good to see you here!  We have several newer and wonderful members who have joined us here, too, and they have been good and steady posters... and we are so happy to have you back! It sounds like you've been through lots of changes with the farm and life in general, but so happy all the little ones are there, especially Ansell and Spotbum!

Now, I have to go check out all your posts, and what a pleasure it will be.  :D
