She is!! It's surprising because we haven't gone to church until recently. Her dad want her to be confirmed in the Catholic Church so she has been attending classes and I guess it got her interest!!  But she is open to all religions and is full of questions!!

I just love my kids!! Laughing

Riding for the disabled is big ove here Krissy

My daughter used to go riding with them quite a lot, under the auspicies of Lady Bader, wife of the legendary Group Capt. Sir Douglas Bader as they lived not far from us.  She was also a riding examiner for the Household Cavalry.

To answer Krissy's question---photogragher for National Geographic.

I think you'd like our region here Krissy with Newbury having a Group 1 horse racing course, flat and National Huntt/jumps, with only a few miles away, the village of Lambourn with several major race horse stables, as also dotted about other villages near Newbury.  Only a few miles further is Ascot with another Group 1 course, and I think you'd love Royal Ascot Week in the summer. Smile  Was going to go to Newbury Races next time, to get some horse racing photos .
