Thought I would be working till I drop but have decided to knock it all on the head and start enjoying myself, going to get my motor home this winter and spend a few months travelling round England until the old dogs are gone then winters in the sun have a few months left to tidy up some loose ends and then I,m out, happy days life’s to busy for working have so much I still want to do and realise that time is running down

Today I thought sod it, I’m having a 4 day weekend, now a 70 year old woman wanted her patio cleaning, was quoted £60, doesn’t have £60 but has a son and a neighbour capable of doing it for her, neither volunteered, so this morning I put the jet wash in the van, bought a gallon of the cheapest patio cleaner I could find and turned up and within an hour had it looking like new home, had a shower and popped to the shop, on the way I seen 2 young lasses on the other side of the road with a flat tyre, one had the spare out, the other was holding the jack looking very confused, now a good 40 c

I had my boys last week end and will have them again for half term can't wait..

My boys 18th last weekend so we threw a big bash up here, I'm a glutton for punishment so 3 weeks before I said to the Mrs id put an extension on my bar/man cave/glorified shed! Lol The key to this place is it hasn't cost me anything, I have scavenged and pilfered from sites to make it, starting 4 years ago when I was asked to remove a large air conditioning unit that I planned to put up as a tree house for the kids, it nearly tipped the 17m tele handler over it was so heavy so it got "dumped" on a raised platform and became the starting point of the Kev Inn .. some cladding out of the y

Seeing stuff like that destroys you a bit mate, so let me give you a little bit of positive to restore your faith in the world a bit. Little lad aged 18 months lives down the way in my parish, he has something wrong with his brain and the family are having Christmas early in case he don’t make it. My postman turned up the other morning with his van absolutely freighted up, I asked the score and he said he was delivering 5000 cards to the house and another 10,000 this week. A bloke had driven 120 miles before work to put up an inflatable snow globe in the front garden so it was t

My young dog for this season just over 2 on pic.see how he fairs up this season.

Immunotherapy is working! Tumour reduced from 23mm to 16mm Cheers, D.

20 years ago I married my childhood sweetheart.We spent the day together at my father's river camp.It was peaceful. Spent most of the day watching ospreys hunt. And catching tiny bream. As we sat down to lunch in the camper I began to laugh as this camper had more square footage than our first house.We started our marriage in a 2 bedroom house trailer and bought an acre of land.My wife had to bottle raise a litter of pups right after our honeymoon lol.She took them to work with her in a shoebox.I remember loading a bulldog in my pickup headed to the moun

I mentioned a while back on here that we have become friends with a couple of guests from liverpool, they have cooked for us when they have stayed here and we met up with them last time we were in Liverpool and had a great afternoon/night... I promised them next time they were down id sort a beach day...well we did it today and it was bloody hard work but they loved it... took him out on the jet ski abd caught bass, set up bbqs on the beach and a full beach set up, he is a bbq chef and brought a massive lump of steak plus his special rub! Was lovely.. I filleted and scaled a few bass, a b

Now to some this is just a a rabbit and nothing more . To me I've owned the great gran ,gran auntie and mother and now bringing the wee one through. She's 7 months and 1 week to date. And they have all brought they're challenges and doubts but they have overcome them to a standard I was happy to own. Only pot fillers and good at nothing but OK at a few things . We have been doing the basics for a while now and other than the myxi one she's been working other aspects. Tonight we wandered out and all rabbits where flighty. What looked a great chance by the time I put the th

I finally managed to find what I was looking for from working lines. She's so well behaved and great with people and dogs. Should keep me busy!!

Thought I’d post a few pics of the things I’m grateful for today and this year

Having a clear out lads. Had enough of the constant price rises and pressures strategically applied by this shit show of a government so me and the misus are working towards selling up and going off grid with a little small holding. Not guna happen over night but thats the mission now. Keep an eye out in the classifieds for bits I put on, don't be afraid to make an offer if interested. Its guna be an interesting journey but its got to start somewhere! ATB Ry

Iv hunted this certain spot in donegal for over twenty years,about thirteen mile from my house,cracking spot always was my favourite spot,big fields an lots of gear to go at. An right in the middle of it there is a stone house with a tree boundry bout 1 football pitch in size with a cracking we river running through it. The old man an woman passed away years ago an its all overgrown. Durning covid i did a bit of digging trying to find the owner with no luck,thinking to myself i would love to buy it. Me an my son an his three friends went out a dander on saturday an there wa

I hate wasting time off work, drives me mad! So Sunday we had a fish off the Jet Ski, my brother, fin and me... family evening out... was perfect, flat calm, and warm until dark.. We headed about 10 miles down the coast to beer head, on the way we saw a load of gannets diving a few miles out ..headed out and hit some fish, a few nice bass and a bucket of mackerel... The trip in was stunning, Fin drove us...he was flat out all the way..kids!! Lol Last night we were at Ashton Gate, Bristol watching the Artic Monkeys supported by The H

Here’s a pics of this season so far

The title is a song by the Dubliners it talks about the back breaking work and the hard drinking of Irishmen working in the UK. I was part of that world for nearly 3 years in the sixties I was employed as a general groundworks labrador building the M62. My ganger was a really hard man. He took one look at me when I arrived and said "Jesus who"s this f****n cowboy they've sent me? I think he was referring to my long hair and chip- on- the -shoulder manner. As the weeks and months went by I began to really admire him, Meahall (spelling ) was his name. He was genuine leader of me

Felt like the Goldie cock i had done was looking lonely so had a little pal done for him today,same tattooist as the first and i'm rather bloody chuffed with it chaps and chapess's..

New season almost here soon as temp drops I'll make a start, just dotting about with them ATM starting to get there fitness going.

Seems to be a big up take for threads on off grid living or self sustainability so thought I would stick it in here lads because the 'living of land and game cooking' section doesn't get much traffic We are working towards producing our own meat and veg, will take some time but oong term goals. Half a dozen young chickens at the min, another dozen in incubator (expecting 6 at most). Turkeys going in next week when these hatch.....or not CPH applied for today for the pigs that are next on list. The patch of brambles is what I have bought to put the hogs on moving forwar

I got one off my pups back last Friday from a mate, I placed her with my other mate closer to home. Wind was blowing last night although very bright. We took off anyways. (Innit to win it) . The 1st half hour we seen a few in the thermal but all on the move. We eventually landed on a nice 1 for his pup and she scoobed up no issues . Mines has had a couple more runs than her sister so she had a little more complex run which she done very well. Another for her. On the way back they managed another 1 each. Chuffed watching the 2 sisters and amazing to see them 1 after

Sixth generation.

Not many decent days left before we hit winter... made the most of it today! Cracking day with my brother... some good feeds as well!

For anyone that didn't know there was two referendums happening yesterday in the south of ireland. One was to change the constitution all together by taking mother out of it an replacing it with "durable" relationship. All the main parties an most of the rest apart from a couple of independent was in favour of it,they campaigned saying that the constitution said that mothers belong in the home which was complete an utter lies,it does not say that,an that it needs to change to show Irelands progressives,thank f**k it was whole heartily rejected by the irish people,they tried to ruin t

Thanks once again everybody for all your kind and encouraging words. Still not letting me have any more likes They are starting me on a 2 year treatment plan so that's put a bit of fire back in my belly, starts next Wednesday. Cheers, D.

Few weeks back me and my son who is 13 went on a 2 day military themed excursion . It was run by a local ex forces guy who runs a gym locally . It was without doubt one of the best things I have done with my son . Its called "[BANNED TEXT] of passage" and works along the lines of giving you and your kid focused time together away from gadgets etc We were the first group who have done this and as this is wales it decided to piss down all day . The original idea was camping in woodland but because of the severe rain we had our base camp in the local gym which is a large tin building .

Just sat in the airport waiting for a delayed plane so thought I'd throw a few photos up. The island itself is fairly uninhabited but is an absolute sanctuary for wildlife. We stayed in punta prima, the place was full of lizards and geckos as you'd imagine. We also hired a car and explored the east and north coast of the island. Bird wise we saw kites, turtle doves, vultures and hoopoe.the hoopoe are brilliant little characters to watch. We visited the nature reserve Es Grau with the hope of seeing a tortoise in the wild and by coming slightly off the beaten track we fou

I'm not on Facebook but I often get told about the Americans with terriers arguing and self promoting.I just wanted to take time to give credit to a few real American Terriermen.Few months back I made an all day drive to pick up a pup from a man.No fancy names.Just a man who bred for what he needed.He gifted me a pup,took me hunting with his sire.Then gifted me a pieps locator,custom hunting knife,terrierbox and his library of terrier books. 8 years ago I was digging in tobacco country with some people who had a nice pair of coon tongs.I told the folks how much I liked their

Found a old photo of my maternal great grandfather I thought I’d share , it’s the only one I have of him and I’m going to have it restored and a copy made for the wall . Noah smith with his horse Donny and I believe his son my great uncle . love old stuff like this and being from a traveling family we don’t have many photos to look back on unfortunately .

Good three hours on the scaly tails. Ended with 48 plus. We had a beddy, a JRT, two teckles and a lurcher. Happy farmer

Found this, well, it wasn’t really lost as it’s sort of local knowledge, but we excavated it… and when I see we I mean my mate. A World War Two battle tank. I believe a Covenanter. Anyway, thought some on here might think it’s as cool as I do…

Great cross for a bit of bushing. Mine isn’t a first cross and is a mixture of different terries and spaniels. 3/8 5/8. Looks more towards a patterdale though. He will push anything out of cover and ferrets too. I’d definitely get another. Touch wood he’s never dropped in. Had him around holes a lot as a pup and I think if I hadn’t have stopped him then he would go to ground.

Will put it in the fishing section as well but chew valley res near Bristol has just done the British record

Only because they cant tax us and control what we burn....be a different story if they was sole suppliers of the fuelfuk em

That's it... I'm out of here!!

Yeah I'm the resident American black guy in here ,don't ask me how I found my way to this place I still have no damn clue ? But yeah just kinda float on here and piss of some people with my general existence ?

If im not wrong Jaywick is officially the most deprived area in Uk.....once upon a time it was seen as cheap land for a country/coastal retreat a lot of the old Dagenham Ford workers developed it using packing materials to build the chalets etc,hence most of the street names are car related.....years ago i had a few properties along that coast but got rid of them lively when i heard it was going to become a landscape for London overspill.....nowadays it resembles a cross between The Bronx and Beirut ! What an absolute state the geezer,how long is it going to take societies to accept this

Instant regret Took off last night to go and check a new spot . The weather said wind and showers . Which where to die off after 11pm. Whoever wrote that should be sacked!!!. Instant regret when stepped outside the car Never made the intended destination due to how torrential the rain and ice the wind was instead walked 4 small fields . The rabbits where flighty even in those conditions. Some fantastic catches ,

Hope yall have a good Christmas.

I'm pretty easy going and tolerant about most things ,but every time I see one of those big fat ugly useless earless bags of shite towing a skinny scruffy trackie wearing waste of space and his tattooed scrawny camels toe showing boot of a girlfriend round ,I could easily join jukels army .
