Where has everyone gone, how are you all, how is the weather treating you?
Funny that you should ask, I was wondering the same thing myself!! PD's in love (though it may be lust!), me? fine but sick of this snow, JM is probably in Canada hunting grizzlies, RF is up to her eyes, in sheep, snow and winter feeding, I suspect, and as for that EK, hunting, probably!! I realise that I shouldn't speak for others!!
I'd settle for a snow engulfed sunset, anything to brighten up the dreary existence of constant feeding, which in itself, I actually enjoy, if only the illegitimate ones (9 equines and 400 sheep) didn't make me feel so bloody guilty!!
I've decided that I need sun light, for my general well being, and if I didn't love North Norfolk, with a passion, then I would be gone!
Right, whinge over!! How are you, and have you managed to contain him with the brush?
Alec.
Ets, are you planning a Norfolk bound trip? It would be lovely to meet up. a.

Oh fine..actually I do love snow..off I go tracking like Dan Boone,and get to see what animals did what during the night,and on the look out for big cat tracks ! But of course before all that,it`s a case of getting the dogs out of their kennels ,exercise,clean and feed....I do sometimes wonder about that stuff "dog is man`s best servant"..yeah ,right!! We`ve got at least a foot of the white stuff here,lovely.

oh so true,hubby is taking big bales to the sheep, the cattle are in, and our in foal mare is lording herself in the far shed with her little companion. The snow is a damn nuisance,had enough of it now-can only let the hounds out around the fields here-and god knows when hunting will restart!

Ah you see..the wonders of tracking! Last night a Charlie slipped under a fence right by the kennels,nicked a thawing (in hot water) chicken carcase and trotted off under the same hole. Normally I would`nt have a clue!

Sali Mali(named after a welsh rag doll) is a 6 year old pacer,she belonged to a neighbour who breeds 1 or2. She raced at Tir Prince as a 3 year old, very fast but a bitch on the track(comes from her breeding.)She then was surplus to requirements and heading for the meat man, luckily hubby told me this so we bought her. Hubby's brother hunted her the first season, she was too brave for her own good being green, i think he had a fair ride!! Anyway, being as i am as i am, hubby only needs the one to ride so we put her in foal to another pacer called Sable Matters, a horse which came over from the States to a local chap. SM is only 15.3 but throws big foals.So, fingers crossed- How are you with the snow, we're up to our eyes here and getting fed up with the stuff!

OOoooh Nooo..too old fashioned for that..foxes are for hounds ,or of course our terriers,but he`s welcome to a chook carcase in that hard weather.We had one once that over stepped the hospitality mark by trying to nick a whole BIG ox-tripe,prob. 30lbs in weight,he dragged into the next field! Must have exhausted himself,however he only chewed off a bit of it so we fed the rest.

hounds were busting to go out so half a dozen faithful followers took them out yesterday for a few hours, with some interesting interludes- peace reigns today!! Hubby fairly quiet too!!

Hunting grizzlies in Canada must be similar to hunting in hard weather here - on one's feet.
Wonderful bonhomie and esprit de corps when out yomping, all having a grand jolly and hopefully fetching up at the nearest pub.
The secret of hunting on one's feet, AIGLE wellies with a second pair of socks - no way one's feet feel cold at any stage. If the feet are ok, so is the rest of the person.
Ok yes, I know, I have just let loose a thread of what to wear or not wear on one's feet when hunting on one's feet. By that I mean not what is correct, because anything is acceptable. I mean that which is the most practical and is proved to be consistently warm?
This should be interesting. How long will a thread about warm wellies and footwear last?

JM, YOU'RE ALIVE!! Excellent.
Many years ago, there was an idiot, who maintained that an army marched upon its stomach. Rubbish. An army, and that includes most of us, marches on its feet. I can cope with an empty stomach, but not with poor feet!
For the sake of convenience I pull my neoprene wellies on, and off, as I enter and leave the house. The convenience factor being, that it reduces the complaints from "indoors".
To spend the day outside, I wear proper boots. Meindle are best, in my view. They aren't cheap, but they are a delight, and they do last.

Ets, Simsar, that seems to be all of us accounted for!! a.

Oh bugger!! She slipped my mind, and not for the first time!! I can't 'phone her now, It'll be seen as interference!! I suspect that, now I've relinquished my "rights", the dear girl's still in the blissful state of lust, and with Captain Birdseye, too!!
I'll report back tomorrow!!

How kind Alec that you in that great county of Norfold, indeed Thetford should be considering whether I had added to the trade of local undertakers or not as the case might have been.
You lifted me out of the inevitable gloom that such pieces generate in the Daily Mail:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...nting-ban.html
The trouble is much more terminal and I fear the game may be lost. Some are so moderate and are a poor imitation of the genuine article, when it comes to hunting hounds.
However the old maximum still stands the test of time, always buy a good pair of boots and a good bed because one is a long time in them and it.
I suppose I should cheer myself on that premise with the view to a comfortable coffin - might as well without any proper hunting in perpituity.

Now what is it that WE don`t know..and really it is your mortal duty to tell us??
Well I am here! Just not as much as normal! tried to phone you the other day Simsar but you were out and couldn't be bothered to leave a message!
C'ptn Birdseye is a poppet. An absolute poppet and yes I am exceptionally happy and have lost several inches from my "wide load" due to excessive excersise. I did get a call last night to report that he has in fact lost at least a stone since we started seeing each other!
As for hanging the signs on the door that is so passé! We have hung them on branches, rear view mirrors, a couple of hedges and the odd boat or two. It gets mighty freezing out there you know so the dogs are invited under the douvet at night!
Did you know that if you open a car door while skidding on ice down various tracks and road you can scoop up some snow and throw it at your passenger? No neither did I but I am sure the car will dry out eventually!
The van is in for major surgary and we left the kyaks in the back so sadly sledging was out... They would have been very good fun so I am hoping for more snow to try them out... I recon we could get straight down and into the river on one hill near us...The play was a shocking success. I manged to get my lines right then threw everyone else off as they were expecting them to be wrong again! After that it was all down hill but a jolly good laugh for the audience so I am told and has raised funds for local groups and the church! Next year I refuse point blank to put even so much as a toe on the stage unless I am putting it up or dismantling it. I will help with raffle prizes, sell tickets scrub the loo afterwards but I am not going under the big lights in front of an audience again!
Its frozen solid down 'ere. We had snow then it rain and froze over. The chooks have gone on strike and are complaining each morning that I have not put down a red carpet for them! They are still having their cooked breakfasts though so can get on with it!
The terriers have all gone to douvet instead of earth. Every now and then they brave the chilliness and can't help but snuff the scents in. They love it and getting them back is a sodding nightmare as its all so fresh and clear... Was stood out in sub zero tempritures waiting for P to return while at the horses last night. She managed to put on her "Oh buggar I shouldn't have done that hat" after about half an hour of "hunting hat" so I could still feel my armpits if not any of my limbs! I did think that I must be looking like Kate Moss but sadly the feeling returned to my bottom and it turns out that all is still as blossoming as ever!
The horses are all still out because I am wicked and evil. The shetties are desperate to come in but the old boy is not all that bothered yet so I will wait for him to decide when its time for big fluffy beds and not the little whoofters.
So all is well in Paddyville... Apologies for being antisocial. Work is getting busy so I really have to do some.
Ah the importance of a darned fine pair of wellies... The ex left the ones I got him behind so I have been pinching them... Aigles... The rest of the time its hiking boots at the ready!
