Well we were out on a shoot yesterday [Saturday] just getting into the swing of things when the heavens opened and it poured, and then there was thunder, and there was lightening, and there was hail. All in all a good time was had by all.
The Ghilldog sliced her leg on barbed wire and her belly on something else so we had a trip up to the vet, just in case as there are a lot of rats about and better safe than sorry.
I think there were 47 birds shot in total despite the appalling weather.
I wouldn't have minded a little bit of your sunshine though.
Well done Finn and Rosie.

Poor ghillie, I do hope she's alright. So far i have been very lucky with barbed wire, touch wood! The only injury I have had to dogs was a springer i once had, cut the tip of his ear. It was'nt bad, just that it was wet and it kept shaking itself. Everyone thought it had its throat cut with all the blood around its neck!
She is a little bit sorry for herself, possibly because I open her mouth and stick a pill down her throat every now and again.
She will be better on the 9th as we have another shoot then.

Stoppit, just you lot stoppit!!!!!!! How cruel of you to show such fantastic fotos on the forum when we have FIVE more months to go before that wonderful SATURDAY!!!!! 06hr30 on that WONDERFUL SATURDAY to be precise!!
I have been told that Brits are the breed for snipe. Can you tell us what they taste like?!! Snipe, I mean! We do not have them here.
Hope the gorgus one is ok, Jan. Go Finn and Rosie...
PS more fotos please!! _________________ "...amitie, respect mutuel et amour..."
Hope Ghillie is well on the way to recovering from her ordeal.What a shame after all the effort on the shoot.
This isnt really in the "brag" category..... we went to the presentations for the FT held this weekend and the judge was duly asked for his comments on the Pointer trial.He made mention of Spice's good performance, then spoilt it by suggesting that she could have possibly scored better as she lost a few rangeing points - however, he did notice "that she was carrying a considerable amount of extra weight!" That set the whole audience off laughing and when the prizes were handed to Barry, there was even more laughter because part of the collection was a 40kg bag of DOG BISCUITS!!
Some smart person then yelled out, "Barry,you had better give those to Chris, for the pup!", which set off even more laughter.
Poor old Spice has got noticeably portly round the middle lately and despite being on a bit of a diet has not really budged it.Obviously, plenty of other people had noticed it too. Talk about red faces! _________________ Home of the canine "Spice Girls" - Spice, Sophie & Kip - and Lou the sheepdog.

Snipe are like, well..... woodcock. Which to me tastes a little like fresh liver but without that kind of liver texture of course. It's a hard one to describe im afraid, its gamey but i love mine roasted in good olive oil and freshly cracked salt and pepper. Delicious! It was a good day for photos, I wish I had taken more. The scenery on my little shoot is stunning on a sunny day. The bit we were on has 360 degree views like this one of rosie with my shooting buddy!
It also looks as if it could be very very cold there too. Thank you for the description of the snipe and woodcock to taste. One day...! _________________ "...amitie, respect mutuel et amour..."
