WEATHER,
winter ; the weather in england isn't always great in winter, infact it is miserable. Sunrise is at around 8am, and sunset at around 4.30pm. It rains just about everyday, and the temperature drops so that no one or thing can leave without thick layering. Rain spells can last all day, and it often snows. Its not going to warm up any time soon either.
The stable always hold an annual christmas ball for all of the residents of Oakhill. The ball is held in the local club, Valentines, and this year it has a black and white dress theme. So, find yourself a date, your dancing shoes and get on down to the club, where all ages are welcome.
starting date; 15th december.

Welcome to Sunshine & Grazing. A brand new human and horse role play game that is set in cornwall, england.
We are a boarding school that combines a highschool and a college, and you get Saint Helens. A place that sounds heavenly and catholic, but in fact it couldn't be more different. The brochure advertises this place as an expensive, must be place for parents to send their beautiful children. The children dread their arrival, but soon find out this place offers them the independence and life they've always dreamed of. People here are the best of friends but the worst of enemies, they go around and make their fun, sometimes they even sleep with each other, but the drama never ends.
Most students here are to study the equine world, and often their dreams are all the same. This boarding school offers everyone a new or second chance, and with some of the best teachers and horses in the world, everyone makes a successful of their life... unless they're too caught up in the world of fun.... how will you life go down at saint helens?

The principle's office is a room that many pupils know, but every one has been. When you're new here this is often the place where you come to enroll for your classes or just a breifing on the rules. But the bad pupils are often here for different reasons; to gain a punishment. The principle is a strict, mean man who doesn't go easy on pupils breaking the rules of the school. The chairs outside the door are pine red and a uncomfortable silence fills the corridor.
This is a very popular hang out with both the highschool and the college students. Its a place where everyone can gather between their lessons and do whatever they please; so long as it doesn't break the rules. Some sit and do their homework while the others bounce around of the couch creating havoc.
This Education block is where all the highschool students come to attend their lessons. The lessons are as follows; english lit, english language, maths, chemistry, biology, physics, history, geography, physical education, religous education, dance, child developement, cooking technology, and many others.
This is the block where all the college students attend their majoring lessons. The majors here are for the choice of the students, but are all mainly equine majors. You may choose your major when you enroll, and expect others to be alongside you.
This is yet another very popular hang out for the students at saint helens. This is the place that fills those corridors with those luring smells of pure heaven. The food cooked here is certainly more in the style of a restaurant more than a school cafe. The specials change every day, and the meals all always ready withtin 30 minutes of ordering them from the menu. Some people tend to have marks over spots in here, so if you're a newcomer you're usually sat on yourself.
The nurse room is usually always busy with those who are trying to pull a day or two of school with fake bugs and illnesses, but then they is always some unlucky soul who actually does fall ill to a nasty 48 virus. Or those who suffer some sort of brought upon torture such as an unwanted pregnancy and have to run to the nurse for help. The nurse is here for everyone, and its all confidential, unless someone over see's or hears.
This is yet another very popular hang out with all the students. The heated pools are a huge attraction for those who want to play around with friends of chill out and relax in one of the many hot tubs. They're all inside, but with a glass ceilling so in the summer the students can chill out on a white plastic lounger and just pretend they're out somewhere tropical.
The gardens that surround St. Helens boarding school are usually a place where the students can hide and get up to mischief. The gardens are tended to by skilled gardeners and always look fantastic. There is a pond or two, a few statues and plenty of places to eat and sit down. The gardens have hedging and trees to hide people's antics, so it's easy for students to get away with breaking the rules here.
This is a large, red framed and protected display board just under the shelter of the office wall. It often displays important notifications at the stable, such as horses wanted, for sale and jobs available.
The main office is a small brick building that is located beside the end of the barn, and close to the entrance of the stable. Inside the office the stable staff, manager and owner can often be found. This is where people often come to gain information or request a stable.
Aivery Hill has top of the range, brand new american style barns to accomodate it's fine equines. There are two barns that are attached by a large twelve foot doorway. Each stable is 16 foot by 16 foot and comes fully kitted out with a watering bowl, rubber matting, barred sides and door, sliding door, and lighting. The barns have both heating and air conditioning for the different seasons. In the middle and ends of both the barns are large open indoor grooming areas and wash areas. The tack rooms lead of from the barns, with a total of seven spaced out to accomodate the horse and riders.
A large indoor arena sits upon the hill of Aivery Hill, standing proud and top of the range. This arena is 60 x 40 meters and comes with air conditioning, heating, lighting, store rooms, a stand and the latest modern flooring. Large events often take place here, and it is large enough to have up to twelve horses in at once, all working.
The outdoor arena is located behind the barns. The large arena has high, white fencing and has flood lights surrounding it. A small store room beside the far side keeps all the jumping and lesson equipement. Benches line the top side behind a small fence line, and this arena can accomodate up to ten horses at one time.
Three paddocks have been demolished and re-landscaped recently to produce a brand new large course, of which is made up of four courses, for different stages. The courses are a mix of man made jumps to natural. It is a yard rule that all riders must wear a body protector when out on the course, but it is open at any time.
There is over one hundred acres of land here at Aivery Hill, and this land is divided into paddocks. The paddocks are all to the back of the large stable and holiday center, and some have public foot paths running through. Horses can be mixed, so long as stallions are not put with mares. Lone, grazing paddocks can be requested, and these are a single acre or grassland. Mixed in with the paddocks are private paddocks, these have a stable built into the field. All fields have shelters, hay and water.
The canteen is a large warehouse style building that is in the back of the stable. It is a large dining and lounge area that can accomodate large parties. The food counter serves all hot foods, and menus are up above the serving points. Vending machines and Horse Machines are also available for both the horse and the rider.
Oakhill is in cornwall, and cornwall is on the coast. The harbour in Oakhill is only small but very picture perfect. A number of small shops and cafes line the harbour front, and the occassional large, interesting boat will appear. The Harbour is only small, but certainly beautiful.
The Bay of Oakhill is small, delicate and breath taking. The golden sand sweeps across the coastline and the waves crash down at the shore. The beach is often actuve all year round with families, dog walkers, walkers and riders. It isn't suitable for sun bathing in the winter months, england is a chilly place.
This is a beautiful, typical country pub. They are a family pub, which makes the atmosphere very relaxed and friendly. It is typically designed, but quite modern. They serve all traditional pub food, and great food it is. They have a beautiful beer garden to the front and rear which makes the summer months very enjoyable. There is nothing better than a drink of beer relaxing in the sun.
This is a sweet little boutique that sells stunning clothes for both males and females, and certainly very fashionable items. Mrs Rocomé is a french lady who's prices may be a little expensive, but her tailoring skills are the best around. She can make anything for anyone, and the clothes on the shelves and hangers are always the latest fashion.
Rosie's is a picture perfect sea front café with breath taking views out over the golden sands and sea green waves. The cafe is painted blue, and flower beds line the large window. The cafe serves some of the best food around, and is always full. Probably a little more than a cafe, but certainly a very popular place.
The brinks country club is a beautiful place where families can join. There is a large eighteen hole glof course that holds competitions every other weekend. There is also tons of activities and daily things for people to do. Most would say only the wealthy come here and that is true. They are the ones who really can afford this place.Besides their golfing the club has sunday brunches for families to attend and if you're not seen there then there might be a big problem. so come on down and join up now!
In the space to the east of the coast is a lot of field's and land, a main road leading right up to the large buildings.

They try their best to rehome all the animals and they are open seven days a week, every day of the year to visitors. The family home is also located here.
