All about the Tweed #EmmaBrownTweed

Hey guys ! Hope you are all well.

One of the hardest things I find topic of conversation is the difficulties of finding lovely fitting tweed that is stylish. Its either no choice in tweed and colour or the fitting is unflattering and baggy......

......LOOK NO FURTHER ......#EmmaBrownTweed is a up and coming company that listens to each and every customer needs and tailors her service and end products to perfection. This is not your ordinary clothing theirs has designer feel about it... I personally am a great lover of tweed coats and waistcoats take a look at her Facebook and Instagram pages like and follow to keep up to date with all these new fabulous designs. The beauty about Emma Brown Tweed is for example her willingness to ask and take on board the customer she asks in her latest Facebook post what do you want to see ?

This to me is an excellent way of engaging with her clients who lets face it "we are important" Emma then uses her talent and expertise to create some outstanding pieces of clothing.

A great example of her work is her New Shooting vest, it has calf suede detail for that extra special soft feel. It has large double pockets for those cartridges to sit comfortably when on a shoot, and an amazing chest expander so this jacket will take you through all the seasons with the room for extra layers underneath. The detail on the back is my favourite with a pleated back it will make any size figure look glamorous. The silk WOW ... the lining Is exquisite its is beautifully patterned and the edging is stitched so well its flawless I especially like the cartridge and bird lining you can see the Emma starting the design on her Facebook page. 

Take a look the webpage is www.emmabrowntweed.co.uk go on treat yourself......




My absolute favourite is this little waistcoat with the bow for more ideas and a look into this lovely ladies creative design follow this gem on Facebook, Instagram and through her web page thanks for reading and don't forget guys these will make the BEST pressies for the ladies in your life...

Thank for reading any comments would be appreciated.

The Shooting Shows !

The Shooting Shows !

Hi again ! Hope you are all keeping well !

I have been to two shows recently, The Northern Shooting show and The Great British Shooting Show. The Great British Shooting Show was bigger obviously because it's the pinnacle of shooting shows. People from all around the world go for the greatness and pleasure of the show. I met the Elites from the game shooting world to the fantastic Olympians that represent our country in the Olympics. It was amazing and a great honour to meet my inspirations.

First, I met Andy and Michelle Crow, who are both such a lovely couple and it was an absolute pleasure to meet them both as we'd only been talking on Facebook and said we would meet at the shooting show in February. It was weird as I'd only been watching him on YouTube, on Field sports channel. After meeting at the shooting show we have created such a bond that I never thought I would have with people like them. It has instilled my passion in shooting and with the support from them Andy and Michelle it made me believe that anything is possible and I am now going to try my hardest not just for my mum and dad but for Andy and Michelle as they also believe in me.

Then Andy and Michelle took me to meet Rachel Carrie and Mark Winser. I was so nervous but when I met Rachel but when I started talking to her I realised she was so down-to-earth and also we are from the same home town! She also had her puppy with her called Doris and it was a fox terrier. She was so cute it was unreal ! Mark and Rachel were giving me fantastic advice with my shooting and inspired me along with Andy and Michelle. to get my next gun and I never thought this would lead me into getting my next gun especially a sponsor and a gun sponsored by John Rothery and I thank Andy and Michelle for getting me to achieve my goals in life. I have always wanted to be a vet and in the summer we are going to Andy's farm where we will see a side of outdoor living that we never thought we'd see.    

This is a snap chat of me and Rachel.(I'm forever using the dog filter lol) We was twinning with Doris ! Same as Andy it was weird to meet her too as I have watched her on YouTube and the TV. Also, go and watch Jodie Marsh goes Hunting which is a documentary where Jodie Marsh, anti-hunter and vegetarian experiences hunting with Rachel and Andy as they explain the sustainability of Hunting and the reason behind it all. I also met her Mum and Dad, Christine and Dave Carrie and they are both lovely people too. In fact, the whole hunting community is so respectful.

Also, it was great meeting Amber Hill, Olympic shooter who competed at Rio 2016. She inspires me as this is where I want to be. She is a lovely person and a fantastic shooter ! Also she is very relatable to me as she is into Makeup and fashion but is also in love with shooting. Go follow her on her social medias too because she is such an inspiration. As she also takes you through her experiences like competitions and also shows you her makeup which she has bought and fashion look-book kind of photos.

My First Gun !

My First Gun !

Hi again! Hope you are all ok !

So today I'm going to write about my first gun because I'm going to share my experience with you all about my shooting in stages. I also am going to answer any one's questions left in the comments  too and I'm going to try and make people understand more about hunting/shooting. I also want to get more young people into the sport as I think we should all have an outdoor experience and lifestyle whether it's Hunting, shooting, beating or even walking and appreciating the outdoors. So, hope you enjoy !

Here is me in the hide, game shooting, with my first gun. So, I got my first gun from Brian, the beat owner. He told us that the gun had gone through generations as he has taught lots of people with that gun as it was an instructing gun. When I got this I was really excited I felt like a coke can that had been shook up ! It was a nice little gun to start off with. Thank you Brian, if you're reading this ! 

The Remington 1,100.

It was a great gun- a 20 gauge semi-automatic. I first took this gun out at Doveridge clay shooting ground and that's where I saw the Olympic shooter Lara Dale and we were talking to each other on Facebook about shooting. She is a fantastic shooter ! Also, we saw Brody Woolard there too and they are both inspirations to me as Lara shows girls can shoot too and Brody is a great example too

as his dad also instructed him but now he has his own instructor, like myself,  and is well-known in the shooting community. These are also inspirations to me as well as Andy Crow and Rachel Carrie too, which I will do  full blog posts about soon. 

                                                                     

This is a picture of me at Doveridge the first time I shot this gun.

It wasn't a very clear day as you can see but it didn't ruin it ! I still tried my hardest. My dad was my first instructor as you can see and he helped me as well as my mum, godfather and Ian. I am very thankful for all of their advice as this has made me succeed throughout my shooting.

Thank you for reading my blog and any comments will be appreciated.

Who let the pups out ?

 Who let the Pups out ?

 

 So, this was an experience ! Delivering two puppies at 11 year old ?
well I'm glad I can say that I did ! It was interesting because I wanted
to be a vet and delivering some of the pups and looking after them was great !

There was seven altogether! This was a snap chat I took. They all just had a small bath and were all cuddling up to each other so I took it at a good moment because most of the time they didn't stop still or they make a squeaking sound. We bought a proper cage for Jess to have her puppies in which was huge and we packed it with plenty of blankets for jess and the puppies to make a kind of nest. Also as you can see, they loved toys ! 


                                                                   

 This is Jess, The Mum of the pups. We bred her with the South Yorkshire police stud dog "Max". He is beautiful dog like Jess and we knew that Max was the perfect dog. So, we went to the owner's house and they had some other lovely dogs and we went into the house and the woman shown us lots of pictures of her dogs, they were all so cute ! So yeah it went on from there ...

 So, I came home from school one day and jess had started to make a nest for her puppies and the night before we could feel the puppies kicking ! It was so weird but cute at the same time ! So, the first one came and I didn't expect them to be so small ! So, from then on that night we were delivering the pups but they came out in like a blue sack but Jess ate that and I didn't like that part ! Ewww ! Anyway there were seven altogether and that night there were lots of cuddles and I got it on my camera. We gave them all names: Dotty, Specales, Gun, Minnie, Runty, toby and Dash. They all have different names now and all have brilliant owners ! 

It was magical ...!
  

       My Dogs, My Shooting Buddies <3


      Jess, Pippin, Bonnie and Dotty !










So here are my doggies. Each one has their own different strengths and abilities. They are all absolutely amazing and beautiful and I love them to bits ! We try and get what's best for them in order for them to have the best life! I always say "Treat your dog like you would treat yourself" which I think is very true. My mum says they are her babies. We are a family of four and we all have a dog each basically. 

   

Jess is the eldest of them all.  Although we used to have a boxer dog called "Bonnie" (I know we already have a dog called Bonnie but I'll explain later). She is a brown springer spaniel. Jess is very good at flushing birds, where she gets any birds off the field flying into the air, and picking, which is finding the birds when they have been shot. She also acts very motherly to all the other dogs. She is my dad's shooting dog. She is very beautiful and always stands very proud all the time.  

  

 Bonnie is the third eldest dog of ours and she is my hunting dog. She is a black cocker spaniel. She is my absolute world and makes me happy every time I look at her. So even though we already had a dog called Bonnie, my dog is called this because we didn't get her as a puppy. On the shoots people were saying to my mum and dad that I needed a dog because I would always take the dogs that people couldn't manage if they had too much dogs to walk and they said I was really good with them and one day my mum and dad said I had £800 to go on pets for homes to buy a cocker, springer or sprocker spaniel. So I came down from my bedroom and say I wanted this 12 month old black cocker. They was confused to why I didn't go for a puppy but I explained her owner had nearly gone blind in both eyes. From then on I've loved her very, very, very, much!



  

Pippin is the second eldest dog of ours. She is a black springer spaniel. She is my mum's hunting dog, who is very affectionate as you can see in this picture. You cant really see pippin  in this picture but this just shows how lovely she is. She is a very good pen dog which means she stays stood at the side of you when you are shooting and doesn't move but still watches and observes where the birds drop. Although she is a fully grown springer she still has a puppy face.









           ← Better picture of Pippin

Here is Dotty, the puppy of our family. She is basically my sister's as she didn't have a dog. She is actually jess' dog which I will write the full puppy experience in another blog. She looks so similar to jess, she's like a clone. She is very mischievous but very cute at the same time. She could get away with everything. When we make a fox call noise dotty puts her ears up like she has in this picture and its adorable!

My Hunting First Hunting Friends !

                                                   My First Hunting Friends !

So, on the first shoot that I went on, which was Brian's, I really enjoyed it everyone was so polite and welcoming. so, both my mum and dad go too, (oh and I also have a sister but It was this year I tried to get her to come hunting) anyway, it was good because I would be able to keep with either my mum or my dad so I wasn't on my own. Also there were a very kind lady called Jill and her husband Martin. My mum and dad knew them before me because they went to Brian's before I did and their son Dan who lives next door Jill is his Mum. Jill is a good leader on the shoot she lines out everyone out on the field. She helps everyone and is really kind. she also has 6 dogs! (Manny, Blue, Dale, Barren, Zac and Skid)

Brian- the landowner- is also lovely and his wife Jan. Brian also helps me with my shooting he is a shooting instructor at Park Lodge which I will do another blog about as I had a lesson with him. He also has a dogs called Dave and Collin.

I also go to other people's shoots and the people are lovely and help me which shows great respect and I'm very thankful. At the start of January or even before Christmas I cant remember, we went on a shoot and we had to get through the tall maze and my dog. being a cocker spaniel, went c-r-a-z-y! so a man asked me if I wanted him to take my dog through the maze it was very polite of him.

Also people on social media like Facebook are very supportive In both hunting and shooting. also yesterday with comments on Facebook about my Blog and I appreciate it very much .

There are also two people who come shooting with us and they are called Tolly (My God farther) and Ian. They both are very supportive and give me very good advice. Ian is my dad's work friend and my oldest dog Jess had puppies and I delivered his I called it gun but an named it a lovely name Bracken.

I am also glad my mum and dad are into shooting too because I love it not just because I'm obsessed and love the sport but its good I have my dads point of view but also good because I have my mum's too.

Where it all started !

 Where it all started !

Hi people of the shooting world! I'm Bethany- a young shooter who fell In love with the sport from  hunting/beating to actually shooting with my own gun.

It all started when my mum and dad asked if I wanted to go beating. Beating is where there are people with a flag in a field while the guns are on the other side and the beaters walk and shake their flags to encourage the birds to fly towards the guns as it sounds like another bird flying.

So I decided I would give it a go. I was 7 years old at the time. When I went the morning after all of the other beaters and shooters were lovely and the land owner- Brian- was also very welcoming.

I enjoyed it very much and since then I have loved it. If you think about it this means I have been hunting/ beating for 5 years I'm 11 now so its almost half my life now! wow !

In this picture on the right is my dad who is also very much into shooting. So is my mum. I love this because although  I love my dads advice, its good to listen from a woman's perspective.  I love going on different shoots as they are all different in their own ways.

When I was 9/10 I got my own dog even though we have four altogether. Her name is Bonnie and she is a beautiful black cocker spaniel, I will do a full blog on her very soon.

From then to now I am still in love and obsessed with beating/hunting and it is something that makes me very happy.

I want this blog page to inspire other people to hunt and shoot and I would love it to be a happy place on the internet not full of hate.

Bye for now and I will be back with more blogs very soon!
