The Horse Diva Family!

Hello all,

I just wanted to let you know about the new addition to The Horse Diva family who is rather cute and totally adorable! And here he is.....

Dave is an 8 week old Giant French Lop who has been with us for 10 days now. He has settled in really well and has grown no end since he first arrived with us. He seems to currently love being a house rabbit- although the sitting room has had to become rather rabbit friendly so prevent him from chewing absolutely everything (as I sit here now there are cushions preventing him getting to the tv cables and the curtains are tucked up to stop him eating them!). Dave is so friendly and loves watching the tv with us. He is also highly entertaining with his mad bunny jumping and excited sprints around the room!
However Dave is yet to meet my partners dog Charlie...although he's so laid back I don't think Dave is going to be too bothered! Here's Charlie "enjoying" his first ever bath out in the garden a couple of weeks back. Not sure he liked it too much but he certainly smelt a lot better afterwards. We used the fab Dirty Beastie Shampoo on him to give his coat a really good wash with a lovely fresh smell. However it's a shame the sunshine has seemed to dissapear since then. I hope you are all enjoying some time with your animals- may they be horses, dogs, rabbits of otherwise :-)

Masterchef Inspiration!

I have been following Masterchef for the last few weeks and was feeling rather nervous watching the final last night! Big congratulations to the Masterchef champion 2010 Dhruv Baker who has an amazing talent and a huge career in food ahead of him. I have to say I also loved the other two finalists so lets hope they also get to follow their dreams... Reading the news reviews of the final this morning I was rather amused by the fact that Dhruv's toddler son doesn't like his meals!!! You can always rely on children to stop your ego expanding!

If like me, you have been inspired by the scrumptious dishes they created on Masterchef, its time to get in the Kitchen and experiment (though I won't be setting my cooking standards too high)!!! However I will be wearing my pretty pink Messy Mare Kitchen Apron from The Horse Diva to protect my clothing from the anticipated mess. I shall even colour coordinate with the pink egg timer and pink kitchen knife I was given for Easter- can you tell I like pink?

Happy Cooking- let me know how you get on :-) !
