8th July 2013

A busy day with one thing and another. Hazel Brook came out of her work over 1 mile on the grass on Saturday in fine form, she is Southwell bound on Sunday. Charlie has all of his partners coming to see their new purchases from Ireland at 11 A.M so a busy Sunday ahead. They are all going nicely and will be ridden around the school for the first time tomorrow. I can't wait to sit on a few, I stay on the ground until this point unless we have a real bad one and then sadly, I still have to risk my neck rather than anyone else's. As I say to the lads, any idiot can fall off and the man on the ground is far more important!

David Cameron said on the radio today that he can't think of anyone more deserving of a knighthood than Andy Murray. Of course, what he has achieved is phenomenal but whether or not it warrants a knighthood I am not so sure and he is Scottish. I have never warmed to David Cameron and think is a weak prime minster, I'd love to have known what Margaret Thatcher thought of him - I'd bet, pretty much what I think of him. I wonder if she ever went to Cornbury music festival on Saturday before Wimbledon on the Sunday.
