Bog Myrtle & Peat

I hadn’t planned on writing a post about this until it was all over, so that I could just nonchalantly drop it into the blog as if it were something that I do all the time and it was hardly noteworthy. However, I am so excited about it that I can’t resist mentioning that in just over a week, I will be heading out to Croatia for four days of driven wild boar shooting. The trip is being organised by the Basswood Sporting Agency on behalf of the Shooting Gazette (my long-suffering employers who have been backing me now for almost four years), so while there will no doubt be some great sport, there’s also an element of work to the trip. It’s been on the cards since about March, but the steadily building excitement can be contained no longer. Whatever happens, it is sure to be written about in some detail, so stand by to hear a great deal more about pigs this winter…
