UK Trip & Weekend

[Sarah Ellerby]

Hi Everyone:

I just got back from the UK. I had two weeks there and it was fantastic! My mum is doing well, she's just started her therapy and has packed up smoking, which I'm so proud of. It's been close to 3 weeks now. I saw my niece, Lucy and bought her a drum kit, I'm sorta glad I was leaving after hearing her beat the drum!

Anyway, I spent a lot of my time with my mum's sister Emma and my Uncle Tony, who owns a great retirement home in Norton. They do a fantastic job and the residents love them both! I had a taste of my horse racing roots, which was great. My Auntie & Uncle own horses with top trainer Brian Ellison, so I was up the gallops watching them breeze up, I so wanted to be riding!

Anyway, we did a days racing at Catterick. It was great to see some familiar faces again. Brian had a party and we all had a few too many but it was a great time! I'm decking my pool room out with horse pictures, so top racing photographer, Louise Pollard set me up with loads of great pictures. Visit her site: Original racehorse photographs

I got back on a Tuesday and on Thursday I was driving down to Boca Raton to do a two hour appearance for Boca Raton Hospital and their doctors. Great night, really nice people. Hopefully they want me back next year. Anyway, that's it for now, off to the gym. Will probably play on the Florida Pro Tour in Jacksonville in the next couple of weeks, so come out and watch!

Take care,

Sarah
