My first full day back down south saw Julie and I head off to the annual Lambourn Open Day in surprisingly enough Lambourne in Berkshire. This is my first time here and it is an opportunity on a Good Friday to visit about 25 racing stables in the morning and then in the afternoon a country fair takes place with an equine theme. As a way to relax on a Good Friday it was excellent made all the more enjoyable with the bright sunshine all day. After 10 days in Scotland and northern England in windy conditions it was a pleasure to be back in calm warm conditions down south. Best part of the day? Seeing the Household Cavalry perform some exquisite manoeuvres on horseback which even for a non rider such as myself it was an exceptional display of man and horse in harmony.
