Today's walk was around the rail at the racecourse. Weather much warmer. All the noise and excitement of the Festival and the first time that our grand-daughter had been to see the races. She often sees horses plodding along the lanes but this was the first time she'd seen twenty plus huge, fast-moving, hurdling beasts.
And here they come thundering past in a wave of power, speed and bad language. I couldn't believe how close they come At this stage my jacket got caught in the barbed-wire on the top of the fence so I didn't get any other photos of the ride nor of the wonder on Freya's face.
A typical Cheltenham Festival week so far. Yesterday, wrapped up in our warmest jackets looking at the daffs and crocuses. Today, reasonable spring weather.
