...OK, I'm not talking about the Connaught Square Squirrel Hunt.....
I'm talking about hunting and countryside folk in London.
Let me set the scene. I'm based in Cheshire, and hunt (ir)regularly with the Cheshires. I'm obsessed with hunting, the countryside and rural issues. Whilst not from a farming family, I have friends that farm, friends with land, and friends who probably visit London once a decade.
And herein lies the problem. I spend a few days a week in London for work purposes, and whilst I get on fine with my work-mates, I have no interest in spending my evenings in town at a pub with them discussing football and the tube. I'd much rather be enjoying a meal or drink with hunting and rural dwellers who might find themselves in the capital for similar reasons, or even live there whilst their hearts are in the country.
I want to spend time with people who spend Saturdays hunting and Sunday nursing a bad back and hangover. I want to eat with people with more dog hairs on their suit than buttons. I want to laugh with people who know what it's like to drink too much at the meet and fall off at the first hedge.
Is that you? I don't care if you're black, white, rich, poor, eighteen, eighty, male, female or whatever. If you love the countryside, enjoy hunting (not necessarily on a horse), and spend time in London - please post here.
Perhaps we could start up a modern day London Hunt Club? A drinking and dining club for exiled country mice? A group of people with similar interests who happen to spend some time in a major city to pay the bills?
What do you think? People stand up!! A revolution's coming....!!!!
