LDV Burning

Some in considerate idiot decided to set alight to their LDV van that they had driven about 70 yards into Beachwood Shore strip. Probably an insurance scam and thankfully nothing more than the van that was damaged.
Fire brigade duly called, who did their stuff.
Just remains to be seen who has to remove the burnt out vehicle, hopefully the authorities will do so with a little help from a tractor.

Foggy day at Newhouse

 16th November at Newhouse Estate.

Game Shoot.

Game shoot at the Winchester farm resulted in a fine bag of 24 pheasants. No other game shot but I might of tagged a long range pigeon which disappeared into the woods.
Started with Beachwood Shore drive, drove it backwards this time and it worked a treat so will continue with going opposite to the previous norm. Moved onto the River game strip which has the best game strip that I have seen on the farm and guess what, lots of birds flushed. Sedge beds next which although promises much is too thick to beat without a few more spaniels. Clump of Tree's drive followed with partridge's breaking early but nothing going forward for the guns. Lunch.
Beachwood Pen drive, the big one! Drove it backwards as a tester to see if it worked. It did for some of the guns but we need to revert back to normal as this drive is a banker for all of the guns to get a shot. Last drive was the Railway bank, two birds flushed and I think not hit.
Picture of Sky guarding the end bag!
