Everything is in the Lorry and I will,have to sort through it all to put it away - I can remember every one of the hundreds of rosettes and sashes he won and I'm going to write the show name and dates on the back of them as I put them all in a box for safekeeping.
I'm not ready to do that yet. Maybe later this week I will do the cab, with all its rosettes, schedules, sashes, little things we needed
Then the Lorry body,
Rugs, our camp beds, camping lamps, sleeping bags
The back - more rugs, my mounting block, grooming kits, lotions and potions, travel buckets, my jackets, hats, ties, boots, my showing whip and Becks showing tack. And his special treats for travelling and good boy moments - we had so many of them. It's going to be so hard.
Finally, I have messages on Twitter that were so lovely and I find it really hard to marry up who is who,with people on here, would anyone who wants to, please let me and everyone else who they are on Twitter if their username isn't obvious? Because I'm sure I've chatted with people and not realised who they are on here?
I'm @janetnbecks on Twitter.
Please start the ball rolling as I struggle with names at the best of times so having a point of reference would be great.”
Oh jnb.
I am sure that any of us who have had to sort out the possessions of a departed loved one will know what a task you have. A memory attached to each and every piece.

I haven't had time to go on to Twitter yet, so haven't seen the messages you've had, but I know what you mean about names!

I think often of you and your sister.....hope all's well.
