The annual pre-Hunt get-together at Lydia Bartholomew's Plumsted Farm on the morning of Saturday, Dec. 2, was great fun as always. Addressing the guests from horseback just before the hunt moved off, Anne Moran, one of the Masters of Mr. Stewart's Cheshire Foxhounds, took a few minutes to thank Lydia for her hospitality and to express appreciation to the landowners for allowing the Hunt to cross their properties.
Then the foxhunters headed off to the east, toward Newark Road, while the rest of us socialized with friends and neighbors and enjoyed the lavish spread of pastries, fruit, chili, fruit, subs and hot coffee (with or without additives). It was a lovely morning, with bright sunshine and brisk but comfortable temperatures.
