Hello friends! Sorry to be away from the blog for awhile but it is now midterm at Harlaxton and the papers and exams are flowing in now. In addition to that, Jim came for a visit last week and we spent every moment on the go showing him the sights around Lincolnshire. More about that later.I thought I'd break with talking about life on this side of the pond to include a few pictures that Jim took of this years Blessing of the Hounds and Opening Meet of the Traders Point Hunt back home. Sigh! I wish I could have been there to hear the horns and to hear my own priest, the Reverend Nancy Ferriani conduct the service of blessing and distribution of St. Hubert medals.
It looks like the day was picture perfect for the occasion and the Hunt House looked suitably dressed as well. In the picture below, you can see Nancy blessing the pack while the Hunt staff, Tom, Cindy, and Lu try to keep those hounds all together.
The terrific picture below is of Huntsman Lu Hamilton surrounded by the faithful TPH pack...all in one place for a change!
I wish I had been there!
I wish I had been there!The opening meet of the Belvoir Hunt is this coming Saturday. They expect a field of well over 100 riders and they will have second horses to change to for a full days ride across their hunt territory. I'll be there to raise the stirrup cup and toast horse, hound, and rider, wishing them and my own hunt members many grand days out this season! Tally Ho!
