Ups and downs
My colleagues are finally beginning to realise something is going on! Better still, it has been suggested that I can write a story about the challenge to go in the newspaper, which I did yesterday and will go in this Friday or next.
Also, I have been in touch with the hospice because I was terrified of people giving me cheques or money because I don’t trust my own accounting. They happily agreed to act as an admin base, so anyone reading this blog who wants to donate, but is nervous of doing so online (it is 100 per cent certified safe), can instead write a cheque made payable to the Earl Mountbatten Hospice and send it to: Trans-Siberian Writing Challenge, Fundraising Team, Earl Mountbatten Hospice, Halberry Lane, Newport, Isle Of Wight, UK. PO30 2ER.
Apart from that, a riding organisation that I am a member of has also agreed to put an article in their newsletter, which will come out later this month, so that’s great news too.
On the downside, I am currently preparing my novice horse, Zack, for a showjumping championship this Sunday and I went to do some practice last night and came off rather hard in classical Barnes-Wallis Bouncing Bomb style! There is always a point when you fall off a horse when you wonder which way is up and in this case, it took me ages to work it out! Ouch!
Never mind - better now than in September!
