You are one patient woman when it comes to your 'broadband' issues.

It broke my heart to see the horses trundling along on that busy road, well into the night. I remember when one horse drowned in the river, the owner had taken it in to wash it. Tragic. I hope the RSPCA are present to watch over things.
