William H. Macy Instagram – On our first evening ride, after walking a good bit, Simon called out, “Shall we have a bit of a canter?”. Well I thought, this is what you practiced over twenty hours for, and off we went. I didn’t fall off. Actually, The Tractor turned out to have a competitive streak and I was passing horse after horse. Pretty freakin’ exhilarating, I gotta say. It’s hard to worry about your career when you’re galloping on a horse.
When we got back, a long table was set with table cloth, napkins, silverware, wine glasses and candles. And then we had a magnificent meal, cooked over an open fire which included bread that was baked daily in a small metal box heated by the fire. They made pies and pastries in the thing also. We never had a meal that was anything less than gourmet.
After the nightly campfire, Flicka and I crawled into our wumphy bed and listened to all manner of animals grunting and howling and barking. We had seen elephants with newborn babies and giraffes which are so much taller in real life, and two male lions lying around waiting for a lioness to make up her mind. This was the first day. We had eleven more before us. | Posted on 20/Jul/2022 07:04:49
