Dusk was seeping into the sky and I could feel the cold of the night building, so I finished my perambulations and went back into the hex to stoke the fire.
Just as she started to crackle I heard a knock on the door and jamming my wellies back on I went back outside where a shotgun toting local greeted me and asked if they could use my land as a shooting spot whilst the beaters came down through the woods.
I happily agreed & helped out by trotting noisily through a nearby corner of the woods.
The reason for telling this tale is that the following morning I discovered they had left me a couple of grouse hung from the wing mirror of the van by way of thanks...
