    Well at lest you have broke the ice with her, .....will you be dropping a bottle off at Christmas?

    I suspect i was sent on to her for a bit of a chuckle in hindsight as  her parting comment to me ,after turning her back and walking away without even saying good day  ,was" go back to Mr ----- as he seems to be the mr fix- it in the area". But seriously some folks ,regardless of how far up their gazoo the silver spoon reaches,have ,pure vinegar and venom in their veins with no joy for life it seems. Deep down---i think she yearned for my affection😁

    I went out locally this morning ,just for a drive about with the old man who is 87 .Let him see our new area we have moved to. I ended up with an amazing  overview of the area up on a hill  so decided to ask the farm close by for a chance to get a bit shooting. Nothing ventured etc. Old time farm proper big hap hazzard kitchen with that old farm House atmosphere and smell. Basically the place had a syndicate on and that was that but they suggested a person close by who had no-one on  shooting. Finally found the place.  A well spoken sour looking  Woman comes out full of attitude from the off  and decides on cutting me short after she is asking me a  barrage of questions, not waiting for my reply to end before starting the next nippy question . She then asks me,in full scowl mode , if i do not feel sorry for the foxes! Bottom line ,a thoroughly unpleasant  individual who admitted she has a shoot syndicate on the land and says her neighbor had no business saying i should try there yet she's chastising me for asking her  if i can shoot foxes---go figure!!  Its an old truth ,but money does not make for character nor integrity. It can be found in abundance in the most obscure places and be absent where you would imagine it was to be nurtured in abundance.
