A busy few days

The last few days have been welcomingly busy as I have been given some consultancy work helping with the Ride Welland Equestrian Tourism & Leisure project. I was full time Project Manager for Ride Welland before leaving for the more secure, permanent position (haha) I was made redundant from. Shortly before I left I started the management of the design and build of the website, and it is this I am working on to bring it to completion.

Whilst a considerable amount of the work is fairly tedious, some bits are fun. I needed some photos for parts of the site, so I rustled up a couple of friends and their horses and hopped in my shiny new car with my trusty Nikon SLR. Firstly I met with Chris and her lovely black mare, Millie, who posed for me outside the White Lion for a photo to illustrate "Where to eat with your horse". Chris is the wife of the Lord Lieutenant for Rutland, a role I still don't really understand, but means they're in the local papers a lot and get Christmas cards from the Royal Family.

Then I toddled off to a village near Uppingham and the farm, livery yard and B&B owned and run by Sue. There I helped Sue groom and tack up the huge and gorgeous bay Rufus, who was good as gold and very chilled, and took some photos outside the front of the B&B for "Where to stay with your horse".

The website is still a way off completion, but should be live by the end of April. I'll post a link when it's ready.
