Crazy MAD House and Bromsgrove

Last week was a crazy week, my eldest nephew arrived from Malaysia with his girlfriend on Tuesday evening. I went to Heathrow to pick them up, they were landed around 5:30pm but didn't get through the custom until 8:30pm!! I then have to drive through Central London to drop the youngest nephew in Chiswick then drove into Liverpool Street to pick up Colin, by the time we got home, it was nearly 11pm!! The week passed by in blur as I have to help sorting the kids' universities ... etc.

We had a disaster starts on Friday going to Bromsgrove. First, the caravan jockey wheel played up, the caravan was hitting the ground hard and luckily I have a strong nephew to help lifting the caravan so we can hitch on the tow ball. When we were somewhere around M40, I've realised the lights weren't working properly so we pulled into the nearest service station and when I looked at what happened, I nearly fainted. Yes, the electric cable was drag on the Motorway and it has worn out, so we need to call the AA to come to rescue! Well, they didn't turn up until 2 hours later and took an hour to fix the problem.

By the time we got down to Bromsgrove, it was nearly 5pm (we aim to get there by 1pm)!! It was a lovely show, the only downside is the exercise area, the field is full of thistle!!

Bromsgrove was Sing's first Grade 4 show, he did pretty well to start his Grade 4 career, he got a 2nd in the Combined 1-4 Agility and another 2nd in the Combined 1-4 Jumping. He wasn't far behind the winner.

Saturn was a good boy too but my poor handling let him down again and again. He was so close to win 2 classes but we just couldn't get there!!
