A review of the year

Review of the Year

Another year has come and gone, the membership list is now so long.

Friends together from around the world,
Marianne, Gill, Wendy “ Comment Ca Va “ ?
but Miranda and Jane went too far …. Australia indeed !

Some of us have “gotten together”
made new friends and will stay forever.

We crowned the number one queen of chat,
Gobzilla Jen is king and that’s a fact.

Where ever possible we answer a thread,
But its so hard to reply when there’s loads to be read.

RA, LOL, PSML and Hehehe – is that morse ?
Nah, its just CD with Eileen talking of course.

Support the appeals and PM a draft,
Another post from Stella, Its sure of a laugh.

We’ve laughed and cried with equal measure,
The replies from Casper, always treasured.

We admire the courage of Sozzle and Gee Gee,
The french rescue mission was wonderful to see.

RA’s are at hand, they are always in blue,
Trying to help – they will give you a clue.

Love and support for all those in need,
Everything answered from Shoeing to feed.

Veronicas’ painting – Gytha is carving,
Who helps with cooking ? I’m "blinking" starving.

Liz P is a star and kept the date,
With those wonderful calendars … oops nearly late !!

New additions have entered our hearts,
Babies who burp and foals who fart,

Lucy and Alex with new Christmas toys
Freddie is safe now with Ann’s forest boys.

Beautiful horses, lovely names,
Some are wild, we’re trying to tame.

We encourage and ask, no need to bully,
Teach and repeat so they understand fully,

Much to report on IHK. A tour; new book and heaps of courses,
She’s knocking up Air Miles helping them horses.

See ya all in the New Year !! xx

[MirandaSophie]

Aww wow!!!! That's FANTASTIC!!!!! I love it!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

But, lorraine... feed and feet may all be good and well... but have you learnt how to sit on a horse properly yet (particularly that SUPER DUPER HUGE ONE!)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[horsiehelen]

That reads really well. It had me giggling away there.

[Lorraine L]

Thanks for the comments guys BUT you are supposed to be getting out them poetry skills and adding your own !!

Obviously i haven't read all the threads over the year ( even though i spend far too much time on here ) so i need for you all to add in the threads and people who are high in your memories of the year. So as they say in the advert " Come on " .......

Sunny is fine thanks Miranda. I don't think i have sat on him since that photo but i have promised myself to get riding in 2008 - so more photos to come ! especially of me sitting on the right way round !!!!

thats fab!

Very good Lorraine!!!

[sozzle]

Where Would I be?

11 months ago I wasnt here,
In a coma and death seemed so near,
But with support from family and friends,
I have slowly recovered and been on the mend,

2007 has been hard,
The car crash, the boyfriend Ive been on my guard,
But you guys talked and helped me see,
That I survived to be all I can be.

So thank you all for being there,
You are good mates and you really care,
Without you where would I be?
Oh, and my advice, dont park in a tree!

xXx

Sozzle I don't know your story, but you certainly sound like you've had one hell of a year!

Lorraine - you certainly have some wonderful talents!!!!

[Casper]

Very impressed Lorraine! And (((hugs))) to Sozzle xx

The friendship, camaderie, support, tears, fun, shared sadness, good times and bad make the DG a very very special place to be.

Here's to a Happy and Healthy Fun Filled 2008 for all of us xx

[Roz]

Absolutely Casper!

[horsey123]

i love um

[justjo]

Very clever Lorraine, it certainly sounds very busy and friendly on here (I'm new). What clever people you are too. Sozzle it also sounds like you have had a momentus year, good luck to you and well done for your poem. I take it you had a collision with a tree?

[jen1]

lol@lorraine, and sozzle thats very moving good here init, gobzilla indeed! better get thinking of a new one when i get to 20k,

[eileen]

Well im totally gob smacked at your rhyme Lorraine, its brilliant! :-) Have you been going to night classes or joined a writers circle dearie? pmsl! i couldnt possibly compete. Sozzle loved your poem too.

I have been on this DG a very long time
so i guess i should try and make up a rhyme
some of the threads i pass slow and wide
half pass, shoulder in? i just want to ride.
Well getting on would be good
a jolly good start, but
my legs turn to jelly oh! be still, beating heart.
i love the confidence section so much
So blow the reins, my horse needs a clutch!
The demo was brilliant, Monty took to the saddle
with his home made lake, the neds got to paddle
Kelly and Pie were lovely to see
they even had time to stop for some tea.
The weather has just got wetter and wetter
the listening post got better and better
new faces have joined in the general chats
some heated debates meant we needed tin 'ats
i've met new friends and old and had a good time
so i think i shall finish my not so good rhyme!

eileen xx
