A Low Ebb

My wife, Louise, works three days a week. Which means that our young son, Jack, goes to nursery for 3 days and pre-school for the other 2 days of the working week.

This gives him double the opportunity to pick up all manner of bugs, viruses and diseases. To us, it's like sharing our home with a Black Rat!

Which is why you haven't heard from me for a while. I've been struggling on through days of heather burning, grouse gritting, firewood cutting and trapping. All the while, I've been fighting a bug- and not winning, either.

However, I feel I've now turned a corner. So, hopefully, it will be business as usual within the next few days. Which is maybe just as well. There's more snow forecast. Michty!

  2. Hi Andy,

    I hope you don't mind me emailing you - I just came across your blog, and had to get in touch!

    I'm writing from Optomen Television, the production company responsible for programmes such as Gordon Ramsay's F Word and Heston's Feast. We are currently working on a new project looking into the world of gamekeeping, and would love to have an informal chat.

    My email address is rachel.harris@optomen.com, or alternatively I can be reached on 0203 2275900. It would be great to hear from you.

    Many thanks,

    Rachel
