Exuberance…

July 10, 2015 / Blog / Codswallop 0 COMMENTS

One afternoon when I was riding my bike I came to the field where two horses graze…

…and usually ignore me!

This one was waiting for me by the fence,

and I had to go and give him a scratch around his ears and let him nuzzle my hand.

When I returned to my bike he began to gallop exuberantly around the field ending in a dignified trot,

What a lovely thank-you for stopping and saying hello!

Well hello there! My name is Vivienne McNeny. I am an empty nester exploring life as a Boomer…you could say I'm happily Boomering along! As a homeschooling Mum I have finally quit the job of role model and mentor to my four children. I do what I want to do, eat when I feel like it, enjoy life with my blue eyed cowboy and clean my house once a month or so whether it needs it or not! In true English form I write about the emergence of my true identity now that I can no longer hide behind my children as their Mum.
