HOUNDS PARADE AT HALL FARM. . Updated 24th February 2007

The sun was shining on Hall Farm Paddocks for the Farringdon Meet of The Hampshire Hunt on the 3rd February. The spring like weather brringing out a number of Villagers to join the regular hunt supporters.

Of course there are certain and absolutely essential traditions to be followed and Hostess Hoppa Cavendish was on hand with the essentials to prime the mounted and foot followers before the pack moves off into the surrounding farm land.(Those who suggested your photographer's interest in the event might be influenced by the refreshments on offer should note that the drinks passed by untouched)

While on the subject of traditions Vecta will always certainly be in the proximity if the the Hampshire Hunt is meeting, especially if the venue is on home ground in Farringdon.
There were a number of other cameras in action on the day with Richard keeping a careful eye on things while Kate was taking pictures for the family album.

And this is the subject, Kate's son Freddie in the centre with Grandfather Derick and Richard's daughter Alice in the foreground.

The Hounds were now ready to move off through the village and into the surrounding countryside.

As usual your photographer was in the wrong place but fortunately, a proper photographer Sylvia Goodall (who very generously allowed me to use her picture)was on hand to capture the hounds moving off down Hall Lane into the village.
