You know, this is ruining my vision of rubbing a fox on a tree.

There is no fox in any box!! Otherwise the hounds would simply chase the quads.

[...] Saw a hunt today in Chipping Campden. It’s a strange affair if you’ve not seen one before. A parade of folk on horses follow some dogs through the town and then off they go across the hills hunting down a scent. We saw them off as we started a walk and we bumped into them again half way round. Fi took some video. [...]

I didn’t quite say that… I joked that they get the scent by rubbing a cloth on a fox in heat which they keep in a shed. (I’m not exactly sure how the scent thing works but I’m sure those boxes had something to do with it.)

Yes, Pete says they keep a fox in a box and smear it round the countryside to create a scent trail!

Pageantry is always impressive and often used to disguise macabre acts of violence, such as war and school speech days.
I do like the idea of laying a scented trail to b****r up the fox hunt though.

Not a bad resolution to have. Better than bloody dieting. Yawn.

when I was a girl it was always called “the village” – Mom used to say “just going down the village” that meant shopping – that was late 40s early 50s
