A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
I awaited the arrival of Diana and the girls in then settled everyone into Harnser in Horning and then took them along to Winterton for a trip to the sea and sand which was chilly, but Sam was in his element.
Then back to Harnser where Diana and the girls had a quiet evening whilst I drove over and went shooting with Jim in Wymondham and accounted for eight rabbits two of which I brought back for dog training.
I awaited the arrival of Diana and the girls. In the absence of Debbie on her school trip in 4France, Della had invited her school friend Michelle Brown along with us.

A very early start with Jum to arrive at Lockwood Beck Reservoir with our dogs at 9.00am. I
was very careful handling Sam who was one of only three graded as Good at the Grouse Pointing Test but Jim’s Ben was a disaster. Before going home, I stayed the evening and night with Wiggly
This was a memorable day but it started altogether too early after a very late night which was a pity. Our alarm clocks were set for 5.00am as Jim and I responded and had some breakfast.

After two attractive blondes had come down for breakfast asking for Daniel, I helped Diana get her car fixed and then got back to welcome Norma and Charles who joined us to watch Test Cricket and for lunch.
We then had a visit from an otter hunt after which I slipped out to see Wiggly before I returned to take Diana out to see the early evening performance of "True Lies" in Bedford and to drop in to give Ross McKay and Sheila Coates a present on the occasion of their engagement party.
Jim arrived at around 9.30pm and we took the dogs for a run and then tried to get them settled for the night ready for the next day’s outing
I had a remarkable experience this morning as first one attractive young blonde, and then another, appeared in the kitchen asking for Daniel.

Sam the centre of attention at Bob Steel’s training session after I had calmed him down with a long walk. Meeting up with Wiggly later and walking along the River Cam with Sam.
It being one day but one before the most important test of Sam's life, this was going to be an important day for him but he was not expecting the attention he was going to get.

After the morning chores, paying a host of bills and reconciling my cash accounts, morning and social evening and liaising with helps Pete and Bill.
Dropping in to see Wiggly and then on to Nigel for snooker and a catchup who was in a right muddle over relationships
Diana put her car in for service today and, after taking Sam for a run in the normal way, I brought her back. Apart from this, I had a long morning inside, paying a host of bills and reconciling my cash accounts.

Diana had got up very early and had taken Debbie over to the castle for the departure of her school trip to Saumur, France, as I set off for a Norfolk Dog Training session and met Wiggly for a rendezvous on the way.
Later, training the dogs with Jim in some large fields of sugar beet; dripping wet with the early evening's rain. I ran Sam first and, after a while to settle down, he ran well; better than ever before.
There was patchy rain around this morning with showery intervals, but this was not going to stop my day's activity!
