Monday 16th December:
A cold dry day and its a frosty morning so there will be no hunting or galloping but we still have loads to do. Im going to finish the garden paddocks off, levelling the sand and changing the beds. We will start in the field(rearing paddocks) changing beds and cutting the pups and saplings nails. I have john nolans the earmarking man to meet and there is more supplies to collect. We are getting dogs checked by the vet that are schooling and hopefully our order comes from red mills. A busy day.

Tuesday 17th December:
A cold morning but no frost. The first job of the day is to get food for pups from the supermarket, our order from red mills didn’t arrive yesterday but is definitely coming today so we need to tidy the garage up, we are going to level the sand out in the brood bitches letting out paddocks and then move on the rearing paddocks in the field where we will change the beds and clip the nails. Both vans need a tidy up and a wash due to the weather and we might even gallop a few hounds.

We will try do another sand run or two (levelling out). That will be about as much as we can do today. ON THE OPEN RACE SCENE IN THE UK WE HAVE ONE RUNNER AT HARLOW TONIGHT POINTLESS PRAISE.
Thursday 19th December:
Its a mild morning for December and it looks like its going to be a showery day. The main job of the day is schooling at newbridge. We didn’t get any sand runs done yesterday due to the weather but hopefully we get one or two done today, without sounding like a party poop the Christmas and new year will all be over a fortnight today and things will be back to normal.

The preparations for the Christmas holidays are going well. Several pups ran very well last night swift lettuce 27.66 +10 at Yarmouth, Morpeth lad and Bedlington boy at Newcastle.

Sunday 22nd December:
Were doing the journal on Sunday afternoon and the preparations have gone brilliant for the Christmas holidays. It has been a lovely day for December which always helps. We had a typical Sunday where we cook, clean, feed and let out. Newcastle United got another fantastic three points yesterday. Four wins will now do us and we might even get away with another three. We could be safe for another season by February.
