ziplex Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Are the brick works still there at Blockley?, they were a customer of ours many years ago. Lovely part of the world but haven't been there for over a decade Very fortunate to be living there :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferretboy111 Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Thanks for all the positive replies guys- your correct its a lovely part of the country I just hope I dont become too isolated there, being a gamekeeper and all in a tiny village.

Billy the Kid Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Welcome to the North Cotswolds I am busy tonight & tomorrow but could meet for a pint during the week, I live about 20 minutes away. Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjcherry Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I am also fairly new to this area only 10 mins away and always up for a beer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Sorry for the delay guys- havent had the internet at my new place. Its 5 mins from Batsford but not that estate- this is on a much smaller scale. Should be able to do something this week- but it depends on harvest as im helping the farming guys out with that too. Any ideas? Cheers Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy75 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) Not too far from me too Blockley area (yes the brick works is still thre) is where we have our shoot, so plenty of beating for you Not on the Batsford estate tho...some of Mr Bond's phesants do like to wander Lygon Arms in Campden is a nice place for a beer - also owned by one of the gents on the shoot. You moving up for good? Edited August 2, 2010 by Andy75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Yeah im here to stay hopefully!!

Emmsy Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 campdens a good drinking spot, although i dont get over there much nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy75 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Mr Ferret - stay in touch when it comes to the season then :unsure: We usually have 120-180 bird days, with a beaters day at the end of the season too. It's quite informal and always a good laugh with the beaters - plenty of mickey taking :blink: Plus the dogs don't have to be 100% on the ball (thank god! I'd be banned for life otherwise!!) like they would at Batsford. Nice to have you up here too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferretboy111 Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Right sorry guys- let's get this ball rolling for drinks and so I can work out where's good for driven shooting. I'm basically free every single evening. So if someone suggests a place and date and time I'll be there. Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
