Walking Sam around the outskirts of Little Paxton Wood on a bitterly cold day, catching up with paperwork and watching Norwich lose their first leg to Inter Milan by a single penalty goal.
The James Bulger murder trial ended today with guilty verdicts the result for the two eleven-year-old boys that had murdered the three-year-old.
The weather continued bitterly cold with no let up and I opted for thermal underwear, two pairs of socks and jumpers and coats to take Sam out for his morning walk. I gave him a change to encourage his hunting today. After a small walk along the towpath for him to relieve himself in familiar circumstances, I put him in the back of the car and took him to the outskirts of Little Paxton Wood.

Taking the old bridleway towards Midloe, I ended up skirting the entire 100 acre wood, crossing farmland and coming back via the Southoe footpath. Saw a pair of large foxes but, apart from that, the frozen fields yielded little or no game for Sam to point. No sign of my gardener when I came back. He does not seem to like the cold weather and just goes home when he feels like it. Diana took the trip to Huntingdon this morning and gave the council the extra plans that they needed for the Cambridge Street application. She found the town to be dismal with all the car parks covered in mud from the works there.
Some enquiries after the available houses for purchase and focused initially on one in Little Paxton that the present owner is anxious to sell quickly and might be available at a low price. My valuer will look at it in the next couple of working days and give me a view. The evening watching Norwich City play gamely against Inter Milan at Carrow Road, only to lose by a penalty goal in this, the first of two legs. The weather forecast is for a warm front to move across the country overnight so that it should feel colder tomorrow.
The James Bulger murder trial ended today with guilty verdicts the result for the two eleven-year-old boys that had murdered the three-year-old. Both offenders were from broken homes demonstrating that we have a society rotten at the core.
