I had a text from The Gamekeeper today. As of today would I keep out of The Wood till February. I had to read it twice before it sunk in what I was reading. I knew I would be asked to keep out for a while but never in a million years thought it would be for seven months! Words fail me. I am even more gutted about this than I am about missing out on the White Tailed Plover. I have been saying all along that it was like a dream and that I couldn't believe my luck. Well, now I am back to earth with a bump and a big 'no entry' sign.
It's always the way with me. I always play by the rules and it always backfires. If I had just gone off wandering in there without permission none of this would have happened. But typically I had to go and ask permission which has now been withdrawn. If I just go ahead and walk over there anyway I will doubtlessly find myself banned for life or done for trespassing. I am sure that the various people I have seen over there who and heard of that go over there will continue to walk over there all through the winter. They will enjoy all the Autumn leaves and Winter frost and snow that I was looking forward to seeing. They will no doubt see the Red Deer I have been told go there in the Winter months. That is because they did not ask permission first.
Doing the right thing does not always pay. In fact most of the time I have found it does not pay at all but still I always have to do it. Bah I am fed up!
