It was a world-class day at the 66th running of Mr. Stewart's Cheshire Foxhounds Point-to-Point on March 27. We had a perfect parking spot, right near the finish line, and tons of friends stopped by for a glass of Champagne and cookies. The races were very exciting and nobody got hurt, horse or human. The food (from Hood's and the Whip) was delicious; we especially liked the lamb stew. And unlike what was predicted earlier in the week, we didn't get snow showers: the weather was beautifully sunny all afternoon and not too cold until the very end of the day.
Thanks so much to all of the organizers for a terrific day. The only suggestion I heard was that it would set a great example for all the young riders if the outriders (those who patrol the course) were required to wear safety helmets; some of them were wearing the traditional bowler hats.
