No need to eat for a week

One thing to be certain of is that this met needs to include a note in  the diary - "no need to buy food for a few days". Thank to our hosts for the country, lashings of good things to eat and a most generous jug of "central heating".

Terrific to see old (well actually rather young to be honest) friends out today and such good sports to say nothing of a very special friend!

Hounds worked well, the wind blew cold but the warmth of the occasion was the very best antidote to the latter.

A "thank you" too for those who lent horses so that visitors could enjoy the day.

The Stern 

• Why were bobbles so popular? 
• Who was thoroughly "bucked off" - in the nicest possible sense?
• Who, earlier in the week, locked the stable door BEFORE the horse had bolted?
• Why should one never, ever click one's jaws?
