Why is there never a photographer when you need one?
A good crowd turned out for an early morning in the forestry but unfortunately your correspondent could not follow for long. While they do not make for easy following and can make trail-laying difficult when hounds speak deep in the forests their voices resonate in a spine-tingling way.

A Special Birthday in a Special Place
A good crowd turned out for a very special meet with a very special birthday for a very special person.
With snatches of hound song when they owned a trail, good company and a beautiful morning - what else could you wish for?
Back at the Meet Happy Birthday was sung, a cake magicked up and candles blown - terrific.
Very Many Happy Returns!
The Stern
Who came out for the first time in some years wearing her Pony Club jacket?
Which "teenager" seemed glued to their mobile 'phone?
That Picture
Amongst other birthday gifts was an original watercolour sketch of "Mally's Fox" by local artist SCW. Some people have asked if prints are available. We are pleased to say that very high quality giclée prints are available in either a signed limited edition of 25 at A3 in size (mounted and framed) or unsigned A4 also mounted and framed. Please email for details: admin@thegather.net

The East Kent Ploughing Match
A beautiful sunny day for S to parade hounds with Sa looking resplendent side-saddle and B - what ambassadors!
The children joined S in a wild rumpus around the tiny arena and had the opportunity to meet hounds face to face - literally in some cases.
There was more excitement after the hound parade as the RLC Bomb Disposal Team dealt with a munition.
Heard on thehunting Parade Field
"Ah, we have a faller. You OK?"
"Yes!"
"What's your name?"
"B."
"He's called B too and he's always falling off."
The Stern
Why might we consider our huntsman to be "street"?

Autumn Trails
Your correspondent has been "on the road" but is now playing catch-up with two or three galleries from September and October.
With the usual mix of Marsh days and some on the higher ground we must once again thank landowners and farmers for allowing us to lay trails across their land. An especial thank you must go to keepers and shoot captains for allowing us to lay trails through their coverts so close to and into the shooting season - you are brilliant - thank you!
