The shooting season is finally over.....
Now the dogs can start their official holidays and havent they earned it . It has been a long and hard season for them with the heavy snow and large bags of partridge and pheasants. Little Peg who carries a pheasant nearly as big as herself has developed muscles like Tyson.Even Quozzi was curled up asleep in some bracken today keeping out of the wind. She goes every day as she is frightened she misses something but even for her it is time for a rest. This last few weeks has been testing for both man and dog.
Many thanks to Mark and Rob for the last 2 days shooting at Newburgh.With bags of around 300 each day and perfect conditions even if it was a bit on the cold side. Their generosity continued tonight when pickers up and beaters were invited to the Fauconberg Arms in Coxwold for a party. The bar was full and no doubt a lot of tales are being told. The more ale that is being consumed the taller the stories get.Even Phil admitted he was ready for his bed.As the rest party on I have come home and now on my way to bed. Only .....days to next season.
