There it was, the last of the season but the first for us.What a lovely sight - over 50 riders by my count - and generous hospitality from the owners of the farm.
Obviously just a drag hunt but we hope that during this parliament Labours vile, illogical and oppressive anti-hunting legislation will be wiped from the statute books.
All people here - from the wealthy to the poorest - all in support of a truly English cultural sporting event.
Meanwhile......whilst foxhunting is banned (and shooting, poisoning, gassing and snaring encouraged) our government has sent in jets to bomb Libya, killing hundreds. O.K. they may be Gaddafi's troops but they will mostly be ordinary people doing what they are told - sons, brothers, husbands and fathers. And don't say that no civilians will die - they will.
Funny how ordinary people can be snuffed out with impunity whilst Gaddafi's life is being cherished.
But then again - you can't go around killing heads of state and politicians now can you - we might just get a taste for some of that in the UK.
......and be all the better for it.
