MORE PHOTOS FROM ARCTIC.
We freely admit that we have so far got off so lightly compared to other parts of the country. Life is cold and inconvenient in Oxfordshire, but nothing like as dreadful as in Yorkshire and Scotland. Our horses trotted indoors on tuesday but were back to normal cantering exercise yesterday as we have missed out on the snow to very large extent. Martin Archer spends hours on the tractor to keep the gallop in good order, while John and Daniel, a new member of our ground team are salting the yards to avoid accidents.
COIS FARRAIG's win at Newbury last week, fantastic that it was, seems an aweful long time ago already! It will be a quiet weekend and we hope for resumption of N.H. racing next week, but in the meantime it's the usual winter routine.
