We had some TV crew come to the yard on Tuesday afternoon to look to see if it was suitable to use as one of the filming locations for a series called Glue. It is about a National Hunt Trainer who when trying to find new owners falls in love with a daughter of a foreign Prime Minister, they have asked me to play the lead part! Later that evening I was picked up by Tim Thompson-Jones to see Taylor Swift at the O2, I think the average age was about 13! But I am now a fan too and thanks to being introduced to iTunes on my new Ipad I can listen to her all day long!

Philippa Holland came in on Wednesday morning to ride work on Mr Big, as usual Mr Big took control in the piece of work . Almost Gemini did a nice piece of work, he goes really well. The other horse who also stood out was Dragon City, he was catching pigeons on the gallops! Airmens Friend and Low Gales are on very good form but as they do want decent ground so they have just been ticking along at home, it is very frustrating as there are a few races around for them right now. Shockingtimes worked well with Seventh Sky.

Mark Grant schooled Sureness this morning, she is complete natural and has bags of scope. She is big and athletic mare who will definitely jump a fence in time.

It is still raining here and the water levels are still rising. Lets hope it doesn't get to the heights of 1947.
