Excitement! It is Grand National Day today. I shall be watching later. I can remember my Mother winning the Grand National when ‘Red Rum’ was a winner for two consecutive years.

For those of you who do not know what the Grand National is, the Grand National is a famous horse race held annually at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool, England. It’s known for its challenging course featuring 30 fences over a distance of about 4 miles and 2Β½ furlongs, making it one of the toughest steeplechases in the world. It’s watched by millions worldwide and has a rich history dating back to 1839.

I am wondering who to bet on today. Hmmmm *thinking

Excitement! I have chosen 3 x horses. I am hoping one of them will be a winner! πŸ˜„

Bring it on! I have arrived home .. ready to watch the #GrandNational2024  Saying a little prayer for the lovely horses today. Stay safe. #Amen


The winner was “I Am Maximus” and my 2nd horse “Kitty’s Light” came in 6th. I chose this horse because my daughter’s nickname is Kitty. My 3rd hose fell fairly early in the race.

What a great race. The weather stayed fine too. πŸ˜ƒ
