What a great idea and a great way to thank the girls who helped you through such a difficult time - I'm sure they will be thrilled with your supprise, even if some of it is a little soggy!!
I know what you mean by rain though. i know you have been following some of the Olympics so you will know that after a week of practically a heatwave, the UK is back to rain again!! This summer is proving a total washout, such a shame. I had Cathy on the phone this morning worrying about little Ferret. He's only two weeks whereas the others are six, and the rain clouds burst mid morning here, but she was stuck indoors as she cannot leave Euros' mother alone and was in panic about not being able to go and get him back into the stable (the run-in area of course was open but the mares weren't bothered enough to use it). Luckily while she was speaking, Euros' brother drove in on one of the tractors, so she grabbed him for five minutes to 'mother' watch and rescued poor Ferret - not that he seemed worried apparently!!
