Should I start saving now to buy her on the after market? SEEING AS I NEVER GET PICKED *much anger*

This year's winter collector's club model

Breyer Lamp

I've been desperate for a Breyer lamp or clock for a while (would love a Clock Horse). So when I saw someone selling this I just had to have it :D

Completely in love with it, Brendon wants to wire it up, I may allow that at some point. But for now it is just sitting in odd places until I can find somewhere to actually keep it!



It's the Ranchcraft Lamp from the 1960s in Woodgrain (there was also a bay one)



And as you can see has a running mare and foal with it



It's in very good condition, bit of rot underneath, but the horses themselves are doing very well for their age



They have such cute faces!

Dartmoor Live 2016

It was an early start for us on Sunday as we headed down to the first Dartmoor Live in many years. It was a show I really wanted to attend as I'd enjoyed them so much before, despite the very very very long journey!

And it was totally worth it :D Had a great (if not long) day. Even if I did only get home at 10.30!

Thank you to Dorothy and Lauren, you both put in so much hard work to making it a great day. It was wonderful to see some old faces and loads of new ones :D
