New Years Menyll Hunt meet

No hunting on a Sunday, so the local hunt, The Menyll and South Staffs, held their New Years meet in Uttoxeter today. It's quite unusual to see a hunt in town, so it attracts quite a turn out in the market place. We waited further out as it's impossible to get a decent shot with everyone milling around. Last year they had to wait for a train to pass at the level crossing so I was hoping for the same to happen this year, but they got the timing right and were able to cross without delay ... bugger!

Such a beautiful day here in the Mids - I really don't want to leave, but after lunch at mum's with my brother we will have to pack the car and head back down to Wiltshire. I'm already planning the next visit ....

I don't know how to make a link, but there's a new journal I caught by chance today, called Little White Apples. If I had blipped the blip posted up for his/her first blip I'd retire! Try to find it if you can ( Roy, you'll have to train me to make links! )
