I was astounded when my hands automatically grasped the reins in the "right" way - I'd forgotten there even was a "right" way.<br /><br />I'd far rather read blogs about inconsequentials than those that are all about "this is what I make, this is what I sell".Heather Leavershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330793797439133950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907961970155401811.post-45928293532349688662011-06-22T18:00:44.053+01:002011-06-22T18:00:44.053+01:00Joy i love the way you write.

As has been said before,you always seem to put your funny take on daily, mundane things. If i'm totally honest, even if nothing exciting does happen, i love reading how other people live their lives, i'm nosey! You will probably have noticed i have turned my blog into a 'business' one but after reading this post, i may just start up a personal one again.<br /><br />Carol xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907961970155401811.post-35058437210109089512011-06-22T17:19:47.755+01:002011-06-22T17:19:47.755+01:00you are already a writer Joy, what i just read was...you are already a writer Joy, what i just read was honest and witty and a joy to read(excuse the pun)sometimes the daily routine is mundane but with your asides and your funny take on your day those are the reasons I wanted to finish what you had written... so carry on writing about you and Rog and if you take up horse riding write about that too!!!and when you are a famous author i can say "oh I know her she's driven past my house!!!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038320794655536591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907961970155401811.post-7126307916317393712011-06-22T15:47:49.242+01:002011-06-22T15:47:49.242+01:00Well I have just read it and found it highly amusi...Well I have just read it and found it highly amusing Joy. I was horse-mad too right up until I was 55 and I had an accident that put me in the emergency room of our hospital and it all went rather downhill after that. My daughter in Canada has taken up the passion and when we visit we do still go out on rides - albeit slightly more sedately. I had all the books under the sun in my collection of owning, training, living with and having horses of my own - sadly I have still not won the lottery so this will just remain a dream until those lucky numbers come up. You carry on being a writer - a writer can make the most mundane of days seem interesting - and you just have done exactly thatChrissy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05637644073652013409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907961970155401811.post-61893557271490463252011-06-22T15:43:31.772+01:002011-06-22T15:43:31.772+01:00Are you sure you're not my long lost (slightly...Are you sure you're not my long lost (slightly, only slightly :) ) older sister?<br /><br />I too was obsessed with horses when I was younger, although I only learnt to ride when I was 13. I also loved English and still turn my hand to poems if the mood takes me.<br /><br />Describing the ordinary may seem mundane but life changes so rapidly that the things we do now may seem odd in a few years time. When my mother in law was alive, I loved talking to her about her childhood in the 40s and it was a completley different place!! We did try to get her to write down her life experiences but she didn't get very far unfortunately.<br /><br />Of course ..... if you decided to take up riding again, that would be interesting to read about. I keep on saying that I want to .... but think I aught to lose a bit more weight before subjecting some poor horse to having me on its back!! If you re-start perhaps it might encourage me :)Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565138584945080707noreply@blogger.com
