I got told about his drunk antics from a few people,He brought me a oxcroft bred bitch up with him when he picked the lurcher bitch up off me,I told him it was the biggest pile of crap I’ve seen,he told me she only had a couple of hole ends so I gave it to a pet home.I was looking forward to go out digging with him until he passed away.He rang me just before that to say he was judging the borders at the great Yorkshire show so we could have a catch up.
