Back To Normality

My Danish hunting guests have now returned to bacon land and life is a little easier. They finished their trip well pleased with a good number of deer in the larder. Included were seven good bucks whose heads will grace Danish walls in a few weeks.
I now need to deal with mopping up operations for a day or two before taking wifey for a well earned break visiting some Devon friends.
Finished skinning five deer this morning and butchered two large fawns for the freezer. Reserved a couple of fillets for later this evening.
Orders for logs coming in thick and fast. One in particular from a local pub has proved most useful. They require large logs for a huge fireplace which has enabled me to make inroads into a huge pile of knotty cord wood which was difficult to work with a chainsaw. A £10 splitter and a sledgehammer are doing the job and helping me to loose a little weight in the process.
Received my list of meeting places for the Croome and West Warwickshire Hunt this morning. Only two will interfere with my stalking but I can live with that as the list also includes dates for Dinner and Dance, countryside race day, Barn Dance, Farmers Hunt Ball, and my all time favourite - Farmers Beef Suppers.
