R.I.P. Lord Kimball

[JanetGeorge]

One of hunting's best friends - and strongest supporters!!

I got to know him quite well when I was working for the BFSS/Countryside Alliance - and he was a perfect gentleman, super smart, and VERY dedicated to saving hunting.

An excellent obit. notice in The Telegraph - well worth reading.

Ah, yes.

Famously against independent taxation for women. 'In my experience,' he said, 'most women faced with a tax demand, shove it across to their husband.'

Bless him - it was a different generation (though I still shove tax demands at my husband - he's much better at that stuff than me!)

And a man given too insightful observations, by all accounts!

Indeed, only met him once at his mother's house where he was most hospitable.

However I knew his mother Jilly well. A most amusing lady and dare I say in the nicest possible way, somewhat eccentric, who refered to the country around her residence at Alderholt, as "bedstead country" on account of all the old bedsteads used as jumps in hedges.

Great people sadly missed.
