I have some video editing to do, and then I'll finish the "Ripon Challenge" theme with a P/E.
I am resting in Scotland for a few days, and hope to edit the video for sharing today.
We are staying in at a friend's home in a little fishing village on the North Sea coast. Just eating seafood, exploring local castles and nearby moorland, and drinking whisky. Evenings are spent down at the pub with the fishermen. Playing pool, throwing darts, and enjoying pub life.
The house is up on a hill, above the sea, looking downslope to the village. There is a pair of Grey partridges nesting in the rear hedge. And a plethora of wood pigeon. It's very restorative.
I am already booked for about 6 days of driven shooting, spread out in October and December.
I won't be in a grouse butt until next year.
Unfortunately, I've had to trade this excursion for participating in the spring shoots around my home in Michigan.
