Sunday September 17th Part 2 - Cauli

Although I would have loved to spend much longer exploring East Ruston Gardens my time there was unfortunately limited as there was somewhere else I wanted to go. Not only did I want to visit my adopted pony Cauli at the Redwings sanctuary I also wanted to visit my friends Jane, Ady, Andy and Sue, and they were all quite a distance from East Ruston. At almost 40 miles from East Ruston Ady was the furthest away so I decided to call on him first then work my way back; I had to pass Redwings on my way there so I stopped off to see Cauli and luckily, unlike last year when she was right over the far side of the field, she was close to the fence so I was able to snap a few photos of her.

It was gone 4.30pm by the time I got to Ady's in Harleston and though I hadn't intended staying too long it was so good to sit and chat over a brew that it had gone 6 o' clock before I left. I really wanted to get back into Yarmouth before the daylight disappeared as I hate driving on unlit country roads in the dark, so regrettably I missed out calling on Andy and Sue and just paid a quick visit to Jane in Bungay.

Although the sun was still shining when I left Jane's it wasn't long before it disappeared and the light started fading. Unfortunately I didn't quite make my goal as I ran out of daylight completely before I reached Yarmouth, but luckily I didn't have too much further to go before I hit the well-lit outskirts of the town. Finally back on my pitch, but parked sideways on to avoid the soft ground, I gave the dogs a late tea and took them for a good walk round the site then the three of us settled into the van for the rest of the night.
