Just a little something I would like to share with you.
I have been with my husband for about 16 years. He has a number of guns which he stores in a locked cabinet and takes out to clean every so often. I dutyfully fill in his gun licence forms and send them off to be renewed every three years. Up until recently he has never shot at anything, that is until we had crows stealing the hens eggs and corn etc. I told him he would have to shoot some as the numbers were growing due to the good food supply. I feel that I am feeding half the crows in Cheshire. He sat outside for hours and never managed to shoot any.
This became the butt of family jokes (alot were worse than that)!!! Frequently missing the target etc. Last weekend we went to a game fair. They had shooting lessons and I anounced that I was going to learn to shoot. My husband and 2 children fell about laughing. They said I would hit nothing. I do like a challenge.
I paid my money, listened to the instructor while my family stood laughing at the barrier. Then I hit 5 out of 5 clays.
That stopped them laughing. So I keep saying to my husband to get a gun out for me - I will shoot the crows. Must get a shooting jacket and must book a weekend deer shooting.
This really made my week and despite being really busy at work I keep smileing to myself.
