Hello there!
Long time no blog hey! Feels like forever since my last blog post, probably because it is! How are you all? What exciting things have you all been up to lately? I've got so much to fill you all in on! I've been a busy bee whilst I've been away!
So you may or may not have noticed that I haven't blogged in well months, you may care or you may not but I'm going to tell you anyway! One of the exciting things to fill you all in on is that I'm on the move! My family are in the process of buying our dream house, something we have all wanted for years, our own equestrian property. It's super exciting and we are planning on moving this summer! It's going to be a massive change and lifestyle change as instead of having a tiny garden to look after we will have 12 acres which takes a fair bit of looking after! The exciting thing about this is that we're going to be getting alpaca's!! It's all a bit unsettling at the moment as change isn't really my thing and this will be the 9th time I've moved house but I just keep reminding myself it will all be worth it in the end :)
The main reason my blogging has taken a back seat recently is because I have been training to be a makeup artist for the last couple of months! It's safe to say it has been one of the best things I have ever done as well as one of my biggest achievements. I met some amazing people who I will hopefully keep in contact with and learnt so many exciting new skills. If you ever are unsure whether to go and follow your dreams and do something you love I say go for it, as it took me a while to make the leap to do this but now I would never look back and it's done wonders for my confidence. I'm thinking of doing a whole blog post about my experience and to show you guys some pictures of my work!
this is a photo from a professional photoshoot that I did as part of my course! (makeup by me)
I've also gone and bought a new pony, we have had ponies for 9 years but I've had a break from having one for the past year! However I decided that this summer (not that it feels like summer yet) was the right time to get a new one again! She is called Daisy and she is a gypsy cob and well she is just the sweetest and kindest mare! She has also become best friends already with our other pony! Hopefully I will be able to have lots of lovely rides on her with mum!
Barney is fine as usual! He is as happy as can be! I missed him loads whilst I was doing my course in London as I was gone all day but he was always there to pick me up from the station with mum of an evening! I think he is glad to have his mum back though now as he hasn't really left my side bless him!
Hope you guys are well and jolly!
