They are in Northumberland too...
Saw the placards a couple of months ago, wondered what they were at first, then when I found. Now I don't even grace them with my glance.
Not long ago just north of Coldstream (scotland) I saw some hounds & horses heading south to the border to presumably hunt in England.
Unless they were just excercising the hounds of course.
I do worry about what happens to the dogs :-(
