Boxing Day Hunt

Basil Brush, getting a good view of the hunt.

There was a good crowd out for the traditional Boxing Day Hunt this morning, with mince pies and mulled wine being passed around, and Santa with his sack of goodies for the children.
I had to take Basil Brush along - after all, as a fox, he's fairly safe these days from the hounds (in the speech at the beginning of the hunt, the Master of the Hunt did say that trails had been laid, and they would be keeping within the law).
As usual, they set off up the hill just after eleven - and twenty minutes after that, it started raining!
In previous years, Karl Showler has come along with a wheelbarrow (and a little santa hat) to shovel up what the horses had left behind for his garden. He wasn't there this year (and he's moving to Brecon shortly) so there's an opening there for someone local who wants good horse muck on their garden!

Someone else getting a good view!
