Well.... .... .... It wasnt a blank day, but it wasnt much of a day either.
All 42 hounds stayed together and worked hard, but they couldnt go on with anything.
You could tell a fox had been out and about but its never a good thing when the Huntsman 'smells' the fox. I guess all off us whips could have picked up Dawn and Dorthy, Drummer and Diana, Daniel and Issac, Devon and Beazie, Easter and Empress and then maybe we could have run a fox.
Oh well, such is the way of fox hunting!
Tomorrow will be the Blessing Of The Hounds and New Years Day Hunt
We hope that everyone will join us at 11:00am - whether you are on a horse or not!
After hunting we will have brunch in the Pigery - if you can bring something we would appriciate it!
