I met Herne today

He is known as Herne the Hunter (I don't know his real name) and has been around for ages. He has made a few appearances in my life but today we spoke for the first time.

He's worried that the National Forest in England won't be big enough but I told him not to worry, that it was a good project and in time it would give him plenty to do. I then asked him if he ever really did take a book from the personal library of Christopher Columbus but he assured me that that was a silly myth, he never takes anything he can't use. (He is a hunter after all).

We shared a couple of beers and then he had to be off, he said he was due to appear in a dark field while no one was looking. He said it makes the locals feel safe knowing that he is there.

I hope Herne drops by again soon.
