The Happy Hacker

So today, thanks to a saddle we have been lucky enough to borrow, we took Othello and Joe out for a ride together, my first proper hack.
( More eventful than expected )

An October's day, towards evening

We went for a bit of a walk on the edge of heath where the fire was back in the summer. I'm glad to say that the big Chestnut tree has survived the scorching and this is the best year for chestnuts I can remember- if you have a tree nearby go there directly and pick up some chestnuts- if you boil them after cutting a small "X" in the bottom of the shell they peel more easily. If you have a lot (our kitchen contains a fair few now) then you can freeze some for Christmas.
