What do you do on Exmoor...

...in the middle of winter on a day when the rehab horses aren't being exercised and it starts snowing, hailing and then there is a thunderstorm...Go inside and do the books?
No - you grab Charlie and go hunting of course :-)
Look at those boys go!
Although the snow was lying, the ground wasn't frozen, the dog hounds were on blinding form and we had a brilliant, fast few hours which Charlie absolutely loved.  I haven't hunted him for ages  - he's mostly been Andy's horse this season and Andy was supposed to take him today, and I was supposed to stay at home - but Andy stayed behind and I lucked out...
...and as always, despite the ground being sodden and the hail lashing our faces, it was a privilege to be out and the beauty of Exmoor was undeniable - if a little wintry. 
PS: Texans, I can understand that this may not appeal quite so much to you guys :-)
