There has always been plenty of work and fun to be had on my property; From constructing yet another of my father\u2019s \u201cnecessary\u201d sheds to enjoying the company of my more beastly friends, it has been an active and enjoyable time.<\/p>\n<p>The one thing I must note about how lockdown has affected me is the way it has allowed me to rekindle my love for horse riding.
