Omnibus Blog 2008,  the continuing story of our journey, making the dream real.  Driving-Sideways Ltd and the New Forest Horsedrawn Omnibus were established primarily to keep rare-breed heavy horses in work and to pass on the skills required to keep them in daily use in road work, land work and in competition.  Sometimes personal, sometimes about the company, the blog is my opportunity to talk about the issues on my mind.  The highs and lows, and the rest of the team contribute too, requesting pictures and topics for me to write about.  I try and write at least once a week and welcome comments and feedback.  The blog reads from left to right from the most recent to the oldest - the current month's topics are on the "What's New" dropdown list above.
