Up down, up down, up down and stop

Later this year the England Project family are off on another grand tour. This one will be to the USA which I understand some people, including the mayor of London, have an irrational dislike for. It’s one of the reasons why we are going. To show our support and to spread some love.

This will be one of our longer grand tours as it will last about three weeks. During that time we will be enjoying suburban life with some friends in a small town called Ohio. We shall then visit what I understand to be a park called Yellowstone where we shall, no doubt, play on swings and eat a picnic. After that we will be off to the wilderness to live like cowboys for a week (no, seriously) and finally we shall spend some time in Florida taking in some Mickey Mouse entertainment.

We are all really looking forward to it.

We like to be prepared so in expectation of a week in the saddle we took some horse riding tuition over the weekend. It was my first time on a horse in thirty years (after having become proficient at the age of 11) and all I can say is that rising trot is just as ridiculous as I remember it being all those years ago.
