road trip

We decided to cut through Dartmoor National Park and the day was SAVED!!!

SAVED BY SHEEP!!!

SAVED BY PONIES!!!

My husband is brilliant at spotting things way before I see them (because of his super sharp astronaut vision) And he was able to see ponies congregating in a carpark off the side of the road in time for us to hang a sharp right and park the car amongst them.

These ponies were the most ultra chilled out group of ponies I have ever met.

I’d say they were “stoner ponies” if such a thing existed because they were M-E-L-L-O-W

Check out the utter disbelief on my face.

Followed by complete happiness…

After more time petting ponies than we had probably spent in the Dartmoor Zoo, I reluctantly got back in the car, blowing air-kisses at my new fluffy friends as we pulled back out onto the main road.

Thinking I had seen it all, that the day was not only saved but could not get much better, I made another friend by the side of the road!

Also mega-laidback and happy to be hugged.

Next up…RHS Garden Wisley, Surrey

This was a fast one! Camera…go!

Sidenote for above photo: Okay, I’m being totally honest here. I’ve had a dream with this in it since I was a kid. This exact photograph. Serious as a heart attack. I’d never seen it before I took this photo. Except in my repeat dream. No idea what that means, but there it is.
Freaked me out pretty good.
