Hopping back to the year 1999, Christmas time. We have just moved into our new house. Keagen, our son, is nearly eighteen months old, and Briony just turned nine. Yup, big age difference… we obviously did not fare so great on the family planning side. That’s another story for another […]
76 Days to Christmas.
There is a little madness simmering in the Wilde household. It is touching on boiling point but not at full steam yet. I woke up yesterday morning and thought, why not? So, I hooked my AVBOB trailer to my Goanywherevehicle and set off for the stables. There, I loaded 18 […]

July 2018 brought two very special souls into my life. I wouldn’t know this until later, but the friendship formed between the three of us put me on a path of self-discovery and made me grow as a person. It was winter midday; the temperatures would rise rapidly from outrageously […]
