On New Year’s Days the Master felt that, while Dancing on Ice has proved very entertaining on the television, Hunting on Ice might not have the same elegance, although he was tempted to try one of those brightly coloured sequined outfits – until his medication kicked in and he felt better.  Nonetheless, Mel Fitzpatrick and Mel Parker obviously thought we were whimps and they were Mel Gibson, so they turned up on horses!  Anyway Charlie and Sarah Bullen put on a splendid meet up at the “big hoose” and we had great fun hunting on foot – or quad bike in the Master's case – as Dominique, Peter and Carmine risked life and limb trying to outwit the hounds on Mark and Robert Stents’ frozen farms.
