An unexploded bomb has been found in our XC field. Police have been and inspected it and the Bomb Disposal team are on their way. It's quite big, about a foot long and it's in Icons field, WW1 or earlier.
Poor guy who found it hit it quite hard with a shovel as he thought it was a piece of lead, you can see the marks. They have had to have tea and biscuits to calm their nerves!
The army have been and taken the bomb away, we have been severely told off for digging it up and hitting it with a shovel, if it had been live we would be dead. The Army didn't seem keen on checking field for anymore, so if anyone has a very lazy horse that needs a bomb under it we may be able to assist!
