Princesses and Ponies

Took two daughters and two dogs to local horsey thing yesterday. Furious with husband for abadoning me to chaos in torrential rain. Started on the cider at 11.45am.

Great local excitement. Zara Phillips there.

Pointed her out to Daughter #1.

Daughter torn between grave disappointment that her first real life princess was tiara-less, ball dress-less and glass slipper-less and fever pitch excitement that she was obviously horsey.

She did smile at us. But might have just been laughing at the commoner, tangled up in two dog leads.

  1. You mean she wasn't riding in tiara and ballgown? How standards have fallen. What would the Queen think?

  2. She wasn't even riding - much to daughter's dismay.

    Was chatting up jockeys and on the cider too. Better than tiaras!

    I've become her 'fan' on facebook and would start stalking if I could just find the time.
