Hattie and Frog ~ GLOBE TROTTERS

HATTIE and FROG ~ GLOBE TROTTERS 

UPDATE ~ Remember when i told you i had heard through the haynet that a couple of the Funky GeeGee's were planning a holiday, or two, or three . . . I lost count and then had to scramble and hide as they seen the haynet move and i was afraid i had blown my cover!!

Well anyways, It's TOMORROW!!

So just to be safe I have sent one of my secret agents from the SSCMH to keep an eye on them and make sure they stay out of trouble (I can only hope they do!) UNDERCOVER of course!! SHHHhhhhhhhhhhh DON'T TELL THEM!! I will share their adventures or mishaps with you all whenever i am updated. Lets hope that Hattie and Frog behave themselves and make the very best of their experiences as they travel what sounds like . . . 

 . . . THE GLOBE!!

HATTIE AND FROG ~ GLOBE TROTTERS

DAY 1 ~ And their off!!

Well that's it, they have gone. Hattie and Frog where up at the crack of dawn and the excitement was unbearable!! You can imagine the noise of the two of them stomping round on a mini mission as they got all their things together and waited for their Taxi. Of course as always someone forgets to pick up their passport so when i saw the Taxi heading back towards the house i knew EXACTLY what they were missing! I quickly handed the passport to Frog and give his withers a scrub and told him to make sure they both HAVE FUN but STAY SAFE!!

My secret agent left shortly after (Just to ensure She stays undercover and so that the GeeGee's don't click on and realise i have sent someone to follow them) I know it may seem OTT but you know what these Funky GeeGee's are like, you simply cannot turn your back on them for 5 minutes before there is mischief mayhem and a whole heap of mess to sort out!!

My secret agent sent me this picture of them when they first got into Town, She said they got out of the taxi in town and had safely made their way to the train station, however it seems they must of read the times wrong and after what looked like a disagreement they settled outside of the train station and snacked on some grass and dandelion leaves. Apparently they are still there now so I'm hoping that their train is due soon or i just know that MISCHIEF will come with BOREDOM!! YIKES!!

I will keep you informed whenever i hear from 

the Secret agent.

Catch up soon ~ Miss Funky

Planning and preparing 2016

Hello from a VERY WINDY Co Durham!! The weather has warmed right up, however i have this feeling it is just toying with us ready to throw us back into a deep freeze!! I'm sitting here tonight with my pencils at the ready to get cracking with 2016 collection of Funky GeeGee's and it is WILD outside that window!! Concentration is also very tough as everytime the gate slams in the wind or a branch cracks as it is blown, well i have a quivering in fetlocks GeeGee jumping on my knee, using my chin to push down their ears!! If it carry's on much longer i'm going to have to dig out the ear muffs and put them on each of them to block out the noise. Either that or throw them out into the garden and let them desensitize to the noise!!

I have made om progress though, and the pencils have been rather busy. It would however be alot easier if i didn't have to keep stopping to comfort a nervous GeeGee who thinks the fetlock eating monster is going to burst through a window at any given time. I do feel sorry for them, the stories that they scare each other with about seemingly everything at times . . . 

 . . . Well no wonder they have themselves in such a state when the wind is above 20 mph!!

Here are some WIP (Works in progress) to share with you, Hopefully should have more to come.

I have been keeping an eye on those two GeeGee's that are planning a holiday (Sounds like very soon!) I'm still unsure where they are going but i have seen their attempts at packing a 'Going away bag' and well all i can say is I do hope where they are going is warm . . .

 . . . I don't see many turnout rugs going in there!! I DID SEE SUNGLASSES THOUGH, oh and also i caught a glimpse of what looked like a bottle of sun tan lotion. It has put my mind a little at ease as they seem to be prepared. However i reckon as soon as they get there they best ask if there is anywhere they can borrow an iron for their clothes, MY WORD YOU SHOULD SEE THE ATTEMPTS AT FOLDING!!

Well i'm off to CREATE, HOPEFULLY in peace!!

Catch up soon ~ Miss Funky xxx

Snow and SUNSHINE, yes really some SUN!!

Well since my last post the weather has indeed cheered up a little, we have had a few COLD but dry days and today we were even spoilt with some SUNSHINE, YES, I did indeed just say SUNSHINE!

I have had a lovely couple of hours with the Ponies today, the sun was shining the ground was frozen solid so there was barely any mud so i thought i would let them have a nice breather without their rugs on to get some air on their little backs, bless my ikkle fluffy cobs. They have really enjoyed a good scratch and some air and it's nice to see them without all their clothes on au-natural, hahaha.

So then I hear you ask, 
What have the Funky GeeGee's been upto?

Well you wouldn't believe it if i told you, but i promise you that I am telling the truth, see i caught them red hoofed in the act!! PLANNING and PLOTTING . . . BEHIND MY BACK!!

Apparently they have managed to pay for, organise, pack, and prepare for a little short break away!
A SHORT BREAK AWAY? Where the heck to? I asked them. I'm yet to find out the details or logistics of this madness, I'm not even actually sure where they are going because there were brochures for all places all over the world on the floor next to them, and i didn't get a chance to grab the tickets to see where they were going, All I know is they are going to be flying there?

OMG !!! Please behave on the aeroplane GeeGee's,

 and whatever you do, 

DO NOT PINCH THE CAPTAINS HAT!!   

I don't really know much more than that, all i can do is hope they actually tell me at some point what their plans are, and i can somehow talk them out of it, I mean what if they get eaten by lions or something, last time a group of the GeeGee's went away without asking i was called by the coastguard to go get them off a banana boat in the pacific ocean !! Then there was a time after that when they went orienteering and I had to go find them on the Devon moors!! 

 I really do wish they weren't so impulsive!!

Catch up soon

Warning, This is a post about THE WEATHER!

So here we are in the first Month of the year and the UK is still being battered by Mother Nature. We have had weeks and weeks of rain and this has caused major disruption and heartache all over the Country, so much damage has been done, so much damage is still happening. My heart goes out to those going through it, pour souls. I can't even begin to imagine what it must feel like. 

We had hay delivered on Monday in the pouring rain, and i really wasn't sure if the tractor would even succeed in getting through the muddy gateways, let alone get it in the field! But he did, he got through quite well, slipping a little but the farmer managed to navigate it well, problem is the land didn't manage and now we have quite a nice looking ditch which would look perfect with a pole placed each side for some XC practice!! YIKES, It's a mess at the moment with all the mud and water!! The horses are happy munching away on their roundbale of hay, they are looking good for all the wet weather, they are rugged but the hair on heir legs is so cute, fluffy right to the top . . . Hey i could do with some feathers actually! I am really looking forward to  nice dry day with maybe a bit of sunshine, that would be nice too, just so i can let them have their rugs off for a bit and roll and scratch ( It is Faaaaaaaar too wet and muddy at the moment to leave rugs off for a little while, first thing they will do GUARANTEED is to find the biggest deepest muddy puddle and ROLL IN IT! I know them all too well hahaha.

Today we woke to a covering of snow and it was below freezing temeratures, YIPEEEEEEEEEEEE the Mini Funky's shouted looking out of the window before breakfast "Can we go play in it?"
They asked. Woooooohoooo I shouted looking out of the window before preparing their breakfast, "The field should have frozen over and the mud won't be so deep, and with all the snow that's falling, it might actually clean their feet and feathers" I sang - I'm sure you horsey folks will also understand this :)

-Berry's in snow, taken in my garden today-

The sky is looking rather gloomy, and the wind is picking up again. I think we will have to brace ourselves for the next chapter of Mother Nature during Winter. I am so glad to see the back of all the rain, its got everywhere so dirty that white snow covering everything is amazing and so pretty. I couldn't resist but to go out in the garden (wrapped in 4 layers, hat, scarf, and wellies) I also dragged my cat out with me to play, she loves the snow and gets all hyper and excitable if you throw mini snowballs across the garden, bless her, her little paws must of been FREEZING!! We stayed out for a while and had a play and then i took pictures, by which time my fingers were almost  too numb to press the button on the camera. We decided it was time to go in and defrost our paws. I think for the School run i might try 5 layers, the temperature seems to be dropping quickly, the sky seems to look more and more moody. YIKES.

EMBER IN THE SNOW - 

Look at that PINK NOSE <3 CUTE<3 

I read somewhere that we should prepare ourselves for a really harsh and very cold winter, below freezing, snow and high winds. Yikes again. Well if that be the case i suppose we best start preparing for being rather stuck in, i need to ensure that i stock up well, ensure that there is PLENTY, supplies and hide until spring arrives! Oh yeah, and stock up on food too, best not forget the food! I suppose i can't keep us all alive with art supplies on the table, must make sure i have plenty pulses and beans to see us through the ice age -

 - Oh and hey, you can also make art from them too ! Hahahhahahaha :)

Well i'm off to dig out the sledge, turn my Welly socks on the radiator ready to keep my tootsies warm, and check the food supply before i go and pick up the Mini Funky's. Hopefully Mother Nature won't be so brutal as the weather man insists she shall be. If we do end up in a mini Ice age then i shall ensure that we are prepared and have everything we need to survive it like real time cave people

 -JUST PLEASE DON'T LET IT 

MESS WITH THE WIFI!

Catch you all soon ~ Miss Funky <3
