SHARING OPTIONS:
Hannah Bolger and daughter Nelly enjoyed going riding together while husband Michael and daughter Katy farmed.
We have had some lovely calm, dry weather lately which was optimal for the spreading of fertiliser.
Even though the fertiliser has been purchased and delivered, Michael hasn’t spread it. He reckons he has enough grass at the moment.
He was busy spreading lime over the last weekend and, while Katy tagged along with him, Nelly and I grabbed the opportunity to go for a hack. It was only our fourth time ever to go riding together and we had such fun.

Last week, a message popped up on my phone announcing the April arrival of a friend’s baby number four. I joked that I was in awe of his wife.
The reply: “What about me? I deserve that tea and toast too!” I suggested – very strongly – that he should absolutely stay away from that most precious of meals when the time comes.
This was of course all in jest. But I think most would agree that, when in hospital, post-labour or any form of operation, the offer of a simple slice of toast and a hot cup of tea is Manna from heaven. And not just when “Dad toast theft” is a potential threat.
