Never Trust Your Wife Alone At A Party!


Recommended Posts

Last night the wife and I were invited for a few drinks and pre xmas nibbles at a posh neighbours, as they would be away over xmas and new year. mostly friends, but one couple I didn't know, but I was fairly certain that it was a farmer who farms around 2000 acres here abouts. I had never spoken to him in person as every time I saw him on the quad bike, I always happened to be walking in the opposite direction to him.

 

throughout the evening I exchanged a few short pleasantries with him and his wife. Usual stuff, weather, xmas, etc. And then went on to catch up with a few old friends. I noticed the wife chatting to the farmer and his misses, and later she said the same type of chat had gone on. Weather, chickens, dogs etc. the night was good and many drinks were had.

 

This afternoon, as usual I took a couple of the dogs for an amble up one side of the valley and back around to home. Well the farmer from the night before was sat behind the bridge! He said that the wife had told him that I came this way most afternoons whilst walking the lurchers. and that she was surprised that we had never bumped into each other! So he had changed his routine of checking stock in one valley in the morning and stock in the next in the afternoon. Just so we could have a proper catch up.

 

Fair play to the old lad as we had a giggle about it. After 6 years of walking the same land, and not knowing I'd been about he wasn't that bothered. "mind how you go, and don't do 'owt daft" was how we left it. Sounds like permission to me. But you can bet I had a word with the misses when I got home!

The old lad was sound! doesn't worry about dogs unless there are lambs on the ground. That said he has a herd of belted galloways and they scare the sh#t out of me. Just too unpredictable. even for cattle

they way the hunting game is gone trenchfoot you will have to start going to a lot more party,s and get your wife to talk to more farmer,s because it,s gone nearly in possible to get permission of any farmer, other than that do what every one is doing poach away until we caught :thumbs:

First thing i do if i have to go to a party like that is find out what farmers are there,then wait till they have some wine on board.

Cant think of one that hasn't give me permission yet. :toast:

Same here, in fact one of my kids is going over to play at a mate of his, who live on a farm. So he has been prompted to mention rabbit / rat control etc.

 

The wife on the other hand is a nightmare, means well and try's to get me more permission when opportunities arise but let's her gob run away with itself. And has mentioned things that shouldn't be caught and how accidents often happen etc
