A beautiful grey horse has just gone by at a sedate pace.

The reins were draped across it's neck because the irl in the saddle was busy texting on her mobile!

Sorry - My horse did not see you as I was busy texting :-S

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

I don't suppose riding a horse,texting, comes in the same umbrella as doing likewise in a car?

at least its likely the horse knows what to do and where to go??

~~~~~~~~ our milkmans' horse knew exactly when to move on, and stop...........

Gee up horsey
Gee up horsey, please don't stop,
Just let your feet go clippety clop;
Your tail goes swish,
The wheels go round
All the way to London town.

Gee up horsey, please don't stop,
Just let your feet go clippety clop;
Your tail goes swish,
The wheels go round
Giddy-up we're homeward bound.

Scozz, friend and I (in a car) met a cyclist texting at a junction.
I opened the window and shouted at her :-|

She jumped in surprise, then got another tirade about 'being aware' :-D

Gosh, I'm a right old bag :-D (love it!!!)
