Hello everybody
This has to be the best website I have ever seen! I totally LOVE it!
I am a part-time gamekeeper who used to be full time up near Penrith on 23,000 acres of prime grouse and red deer country.
I also spent several years breaking and schooling dressage horses in Vienna, so life has been good to me!
My other passion is birds of prey. I have trained eleven, including three goshawks, a Lanner, a Saker, a Peregrine and my first love...
Kassie the kestrel
I now work as a cartoonist and writer, spending my spare time helping two local estates with their pheasants. I also have a full-time job to pay the bills. Life is great!
My ambition (yes! I still have ambitions at MY age) is to get books published.
My cartoons are at
Welcome to Downland Graphics
and all other writing and drawing stuff both weird and wonderful is on
Out in the Sticks
I hope for a long and active membership on here.
