Thelma J. Lougher wrote hunting verse and illustrated a delightful book called “Lest We Forget” in 2004 as the ban came in.  She told me, she wasn’t sure it was relevant to peoples hunting elsewhere in the country she hunted with the Glamorgan.  I am sure it is.  A  lovely lady and here verse from  “Hunting Folk”   …………..”When you lie awake there thinking of the season that’s ahead.  The hunting that will take you.  In the darkness from your bed.  Sheer excitement with a tingling that is flowing through your veins.  One never gives a single thought to winds and driving rains.”  ………………Of course we were hunting in twenty two degrees in East Anglia today – but then East Anglia is not like the rest of the country. The wonderful diversity of the climate throughout the British Isles.  “One never seems to worry, all the pressures it entails.  Keeping work and pleasure, in the balance like a scales.  Your business and the family.  And still, before the fun.  Horse and tack and stable work.  Each day it must be done.  Damn it! does it matter? we have no time to slack.  Each single ounce one gives to life, is two-fold given back.  That is why, the hunting folk, right across the land will rise there very early to meet the tasks in hand.”
