Rain and Tapestries and Free Butter

Today it is windy and raining steadily. I think its probably hurricane Earl (but since I'm close to England I will think of it as a noble and royal hurricane instead of a crass and unfortunate first name for anyone to have). We took the horses to a racetrack (that also has a schooling xc course, a showjumping ring and an indoor -talk about multitasking!) and cantered Foxy and Charlie. One of Eric's friends and fellow event riders happened to be there so he cantered Charlie which meant less time out in the rain for me. Roofus got to jump a bit and again was very good.

I heard on the news that some tapestries from the Sistine Chapel are going to be exhibited in London. Which makes me wonder, how do they transport them? Obviously not on Ryan Air... I'm not an art historian of course but the idea of moving them makes me worried about the poor old guys. What if something happens to the plane /ferry / bus they're on?? I suppose they have divine right on their side.

I'm not going to worry though because I have a new culinary acquisition. Sue gave me some butter from her family farm which I'm very excited to try as I'm sure it will be delicious, so I'm off to make a grilled cheese.
