Absolutely loved this one Marianne. jumped off the page (screen) at me. Vivid as usual. Keep up the good work. Win x
I think it was the "red throated snaps" made me think of a fox hunter's attire, and the "They wore their bite,dangling wrist snappers" made me think of the "tippet" I think they were called, the head and tail of a fox that used to be worn around a lady's neck. My grandma had one. I remember it was in the depths of her wardrobe when I was little. She didn't like it, but her first husband insisted on buying her one - they were all the rage!
i was thinking of a woodcutter but i like the idea of tipping a huntsman off his horse! x
I always love your use of language. Here, for some reason, I see a fox hunting scene (poor fox!). But I have no idea why! xx
