Ooohh - keep us posted - we like a good romantic tale!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

We lamped with a torch, but I suppose it depends on your prey & whether the Game keeper may be upset ;)

When I was a kid, we had Travellers as neighbours for a time. They were really nice to us and when they went lamping for rabbits, they would try to get an extra one for us. We got a few rabbit pies from them before they or we moved on ( I don't quiet remember which). I remember being struck with how grubby they looked (just as a childish observation--not in a judgemental way) that catching rabbits must have been a lot of work and they didn't have much, yet brought some of what they had to us. It has stayed with me as a model of generosity ever since because, even though it may not have looked like it to a lot of our neighbours at the time, we really needed the help and the ones who came around, barely had anything themselves but gave anyway.

I'll stop here as I am at work and getting a little choked up as I type. :sad11:
