September
Back to school for Jay. She found
that she had gained A* for her two GCSEs (French and German) taken a year
early. She is now in Year 11, the big
GCSE year.
Riding remained Jay’s main out-of-school interest. She was invited to help at the stables on
Saturday morning and really enjoyed this.
We agreed to start looking for a pony for her – just for a couple of
years until she leaves school, because it’s an expensive commitment.
She went to a nearby saddle shop to buy the smaller items of horse care
equipment she will need. One evening she
was lucky: Leslie Law, our recent
Olympic gold medal winner, was there to answer questions and sign autographs.

After a flurry of matches early in the month, Roger’s bowling season
came to an end with the closure of the green on the last Sunday of the month –
a club ‘roll-up’, followed by a bring-and-share supper and the presentation of
prizes for the club competitions. Roger
won a small prize as a runner-up in the drawn pairs competition.
