  After being invited along by Cathy for a clay shooting day Sarah P, husband John, Ted Smith and myself took up the invite on a lovely sunny morning. ( what happened Cathy, we never saw you. )
  
  What a cracking morning it was too, with only John and me shooting, Ted scoring and Sarah on the trap controls. As a newbie I didn't do to bad and led John at the halfway mark by quite a few clays.
  Then he got his eye in and demolished me, the phrase Barn door and all of that came to mind,
  
  Thank you to Cathy for the Invite.
  
  A super thank you to Sarah and John, not just for the equipment loan but for being fantastic company.

  It sounds like good clean fun. All we need now is Ted and the score card.
  
  This'll be a bit different from angling with only the smallest getting away.
  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

  Why Brian was up that tree I'll never know, t'wasn't me that bagged him, was that young Ponsenby-Smythe the third. Made a hell of a noise when he came down, unfortunate for Brian to land right in the path of a rutting wild boar, nasty
