The end of a chapter

This weekend we are going to another horse ride. We leave our house-sit on Friday and we’ll free-camp somewhere that night as we have the caravan with us. It’s a long weekend and for a change they’re having the ride on the Sunday so that people who work on the Friday have an easier time of it to get to the ride.
A fortnight after this ride the last ride of the season will be held and that will be the last ride at which we’ll take professional photos. We’ve decided it’s time to give the photography away. We’ve enjoyed it very much but all good things come to an end eventually.
We’ll miss it I’m sure but something else will turn up to occupy our time.
Sorry - no photo.

Sounds like a bittersweet decision that you gave a lot of thought to. Life is full of options though and I am sure you will find something new to do.

It was quite a hard decision to make but I feel sure it's the best one at the moment.

We might make enquiries about going to Adult Riding Club special days if they don't have specific photographer. At least we wouldn't have to get up so early.

We'll miss the horse pictures; but you will have more time to do something else. Have a good week.

They go from April to early October then it gets too hot. And they are held roughly every fortnight. we might just change the focus of our photography to something that doesn't involve early starts. Vince is a bit of a woos sometimes.

It is good to leave while you are up, rather than waiting to be down and out. You will have soooooo many memories.

That's very true and there are other photographers waiting to step up, not that we have any monopoly but I guess we've been the only ones doing it for quite a few years.

Good your post is still there as the last line I though would have done that
My passion for travel ended in the year 2006 after that near fatal accident. Yes all good things end but not without creating memories to reminisce on.
What plans do you have now to occupy your time.
