The North Shropshire Hunt at Ightfield…

CountryStylePhotography — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:13:48 +0000

Last Saturday we found a part of Shropshire we had never visited before when we joined the North Shropshire Hunt for their Meet at Ightfield. The Meet was held next to the beautiful church of St John the Baptist. I now know that George Meredith, the father of Shrophire novelist Mary Webb, is buried in its churchyard.

As you can see from the photographs it was a beautiful setting, a crisp frosty morning and this, along with the warm welcome we received and the fact that I won the whisky draw, made it a very enjoyable day.

The full gallery of photographs from the Ightfield Meet may be found on the CountryStyle Photography website.

The North Shropshire Hunt organise four funrides every year with donations going to local charities. This year the dates are as follows:

20th May 2012 – The Isle Estate Fun Ride

12th August 2012 – The Isle Estate Fun Ride

2nd September 2012 – Sansaw Estate Fun Ride

16th September 2012 – Battlefield Funride.

All four are excellent funrides…hope to see you there!

Fun Fun Fun!

This is no fun at all!

Sitting here doing the ‘books’ as we do every January, with Richard asking me what I spent £36.50 on last April and me racking my brains to remember, both of us promising ourselves to be more efficient this coming year…as we do every January!

Roll on Spring! Roll on April! Roll on our first funride out in the fresh air with the birds singing and the sun shining.

April 9th is the date of our first funride this year at Cefn in North Wales organised by the Flint and Denbigh Hunt. As you can see from the photographs below, last year’s Cefn funride was held on a beautiful day and the sun shone…

Our second funride this coming year is on Sunday 15th April at Eaton Mascott, organised by the South Shropshire Hunt. Last year’s funride was held on a beautiful day and the sun shone…

On 29th April we shall be at Morville near Bridgnorth for the Morville funride in aid of the Air Ambulance. Last year, if I remember correctly, it was a beautiful day and the sun shone…

We are still taking bookings for this coming year, so please contact us if you have an event planned and require a photographer who prints on site. Our montages were very popular last year and we have some new designs planned for this coming year. We also post purchased images to the CountryStyle Photography facebook page for customers to tag themselves if they wish, which has also proved very popular.

At this point I could mention the weather…but won’t!

Here’s to Happy Funrides in 2012!

Happy New Year….
