Pea soup and UFOs

Its been a dull dreek day here. The cloud hardly lifted, it rained most of the day, the mud got deeper but as it was my "day off" it was great. The horses were happy, fresh supplies of hayledge arrived so they spent the best part of the day stood around the feed ring munching. This gave me the chance to super clean the stables, they seem to be able to defy the laws of natural logic and output seems to exceed input. Yesterday they were on short rations while we waited for the new feed, so they only had a bucket of chaff, a sort of chopped hay molasses mix, and a scoop of horse nuts and a sugar beet to chew on. Their output exceeded two wheel barrows full. All nicely piled up in Williams stall, while Apollo like to go for the pebble dash effect.
I took the Berners around and over the Bonsai Mountain, there was a point where we were all technically lost, we knew where we were, but not how to get back. Eventually we stumbled down North Face Gully and that's where we spotted the UFO hovering, lights flashing. Keeping dry was more important than alien encounters so we ignored it and continued searching for the cottage and a warm fireside.
