Fundraising with Misty

11/02/2026

Before I delete my sister’s account, I want to thank a few people who supported me and showed me immense love during this incredibly difficult time. You didn’t just offer words of comfort—you brought food, helped me understand Scottish law, sold Ania’s calendars, helped clean her house, and so much more.

Magda, Ewelina, Iza, Ania and her family, Dougie and Sally — thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I want to give special thanks to the three musketeers: Denise, Ruth, and Anna.

Denise Nixon, thank you for raising money for Bradley — it has been an incredible help for him. Thank you for taking in Ania’s sheep and looking after her things in the field. I know Ania would be happy knowing it was you. Thank you as well for visiting me and supporting me during this time. I will never forget it.

you were the first person to visit Ania in the hospital when she gave birth to Bradley, and you were also the first to be there for him when Ania passed away. You are his true friend, his godmother, but above all, his family. I can’t thank you enough for taking care of Ania’s beloved horse. You sacrificed your free time to look after Misty, and I never expected that from you. I don’t know if I will ever be able to thank you enough.

Anna Lesniak you’re my favorite criminal — you know what I mean. Thank you for knocking on Ania’s door and taking care of me: advising me, feeding me, and going with me to collect Ania’s ashes. I couldn’t have done it without you. You took care of Penny and brought her safely to Poland for Bradley. Jesteś moją teraźniejszością.

As for Bradley — with his dad’s consent, he has moved to Poland. He is slowly recovering, surrounded by his two younger cousins. We have good days and bad days, but we are facing everything together. We’ve finished renovating his room, and today his beloved dog, Penny, finally arrived from Scotland.

Thank you all once again — not only for your help, but for being part of Ania’s story.

I like to imagine Ania fishing with our dad right now, arguing as usual — Ania insisting every fish be released back into the water, while Dad would happily eat them all.

Thanks to lovely Jane, who came out with her own horse trailer to collect us all from Misty’s yard, we were able to make an appearance at Dalneigh area to spread some Christmas joy 🐴

Well, it was the first… for both of us.
Me - loading Misty into a trailer (she has traveled in Horseboxes and a lorry before)
Misty - being brave girl getting on board and going for first short ride.

She unloaded well too. Top marks for this young lady.

This wouldn’t be possible without kind help from Jane.
Jane is a horse owner herself and she offered to transport us from the yard to Dalneigh area so we could take Misty for the Christmas walk, planned on 20th December.
Turns out that Jane has a grey Highland pony as well and she will bring her with us too.

To keep Misty’s memory fresh, we practice our old tricks that we have learned so far. Then she gets her feed bucket as a reward 😋

An afternoon visit at the yard as we had special guest today - Lisa, equine physiotherapist.
We got few exercises to do on regular basis to help Misty with her posture. Will make a follow up visit at the end of January to see how she is feeling.

Lisa also kindly donated towards MFR Cash4kids charity which we are fundraising money for at the moment. Thank you so much Lisa 😊

These tarts are our guilty pleasure 😋 and we are delighted to pass by them and grab some on our way to Misty, each time the Highland Patissier is visiting Inverness 😊

Eden Court Market this weekend Friday to Sunday 10 am to 5 pm! 🎉
We’ll be there with our artisanal handmade tarts, cakes, and chocolates, alongside loads of brilliant art, craft, food, and drink stalls.

Sunshine makes such a difference 🌤️
Love the cute design of the 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗮 hay bag 🐿️🍂

Would you believe it was just few minutes after 5pm when I recorded this video?
These open fields at the farm where Misty stays are pitch black and if I hadn’t had a small torch attached to my hat, I would have struggled to find my way around.

Tasty dinner (read hay 😉) with lovely sunset.
I usually stuff my face like that with tarts from Highland Patissier 😋

Monday short walk outside the yard to stretch Misty’s legs. We haven’t been out and about in a while but we will revisit our favourite places in next few weeks.
