There is a tradition in hunts in the valleys of Summer Wine country to christen puppies as other pics on here show or will show. The Pennine Foxhounds had a christening a few days ago and the character of where we live shines though on here. There is the flavour of local dialect and a strong community with roots in the past that make us still a bit eccentrically unique in what is now a cosmopolitan country. Long may it continue.
I regret the quality of this video as it was not a conventional camera and I could not see what I was taking so had to point and hope. Then a lady with an IPad or something dived in front so I had to move around. The time is still set for winter so it is an hour across, not that it matters. But you get the idea.
