By George, she's finally delivered

St George's Day - and finally there's evidence of new life on Earth.

I couldn't call the foal anything other than George, with him arriving on this most auspicious of saint's days.  He is so cute and has completely stolen my heart.  I can't think about anything else but this amazing bundle of life now enjoying freedom out of his mum's tummy.

In there he was so scrunched up and small, so he's enjoying being able to stretch his legs now - and kick!  I've got black bruises all down my legs and arms.  But I won't let him realise he's stronger than me.  You've got to show them who's boss or else there'll be all hell to pay when he gets older.

I feel like a wet dish cloth and completely devoid of any sleep or humanity, but it's a rewarding sense of emptiness . . . and maybe now I can get back to a certain garden called 600 Days with Bradstone.

I should have listened to my husband.  Maybe I have taken on too much.
