EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Pamela Mitford, the second daughter of the renowned Baron and Lady Redesdale, is seen enjoying a day at the Heythrop Hunt with her husband, Derek Jackson. Pamela, affectionately known as "Woman" by her more famous elder sister, Nancy, is depicted in elegant hunting attire, her expression reflecting the excitement and joy of the hunt. Derek Jackson, an accomplished horseman and steeplechase winner, cuts a dashing figure beside his wife. His impressive resume extends beyond equestrian pursuits, as he was also an airman of legendary courage, a pioneer of radar defence systems, and a distinguished professor of Spectroscopy at Oxford University. Pamela, on the other hand, found contentment in the simpler pleasures of rural life. Her passions included horses, dogs, chickens, and gardening. Unlike her more notorious sisters, such as Diana, Unity, and Jessica Mitford, who made headlines for their scandalous antics and political affiliations, Pamela led a quieter life, far from the limelight. The date of this photograph is 1939, a time when the world was on the brink of war. Despite the looming uncertainty, Pamela and Derek's love for each other and their shared passion for rural pursuits shines through in this enchanting image. The tranquility of the scene serves as a poignant reminder of the simple joys that can be found in life, even amidst the chaos of the world around them.
