Moody's Little Girl

Image
This is a big weekend for me.  And today I was fortunate enough to be allowed to visit the Famous Pony Black Caviar again. I've been wanting to do these for some time. Moody had said one day he would do these.  He was good to his word.  And they were worth the wait.    Peter Moody is terrific.....  I've always maintained that there is a real bond between him and 'his little girl'.  Judge for yourself.  It's hard not to like someone who has such a natural and easy way with horses.  We have Peter Moody to thank for the legend that is Black Caviar. And for that I will be forever grateful.

It was my landmark to turn off to have a cup of tea at a friend's house.  I will have to start thinking about a new car soon. Except I don't want a Ford. Perhaps the stamps will have arrived and the nice Post Office lady will have remembered to put some aside for me?  When I get back I have some lovely and intimate photos to go through. They are just what I was seeking to achieve.
