That's right the poms have a REAL winter - with snow and rain and stuff....I've just about forgotten what rain is...... oh well the drought may not be good for the farmers, but the upside is that it's good for riding.
Actually, I'm not surprise they've been out riding, I got a letter from an Aunt in Ottley, she'd been to Bridlington for a bit of a holiday and she nearly melted in 30+ temperatures........
But as Marty said, enjoy it while you can -
