I,m still here when I can borrow my daughters internet, but my life worry’s have somewhat changed, it’s all about having enough water, wood and gas to keep us warm and fed, woke up to this today ( the roof is red ) which was even more beautiful as I got the central heating on the boat working yesterday after 8/9 years since it last worked, was quoted 2k to fix it, so done it myself for £10 of parts and a couple of days of my time, also taking the dogs out for 2/3 good walks a day as I don’t have a garden now, so life is full and busy but still loving it

Well everyone it’s subs time again for the fell and moorland just thought I’d post a few pics of a couple of rescues Iv been on since joining the club. The best tenner these lads have ever spent.anyone wanting to make a member go to the clubs website and find the rep nearest to them

Don’t know about other areas , but round here there are dog walkers everywhere. went out first light with two cockers , two terriers and a Bullx , so looked like Colne Valley beagles walking up the street. all was well all dogs milling about , lurcher set off and marked a pile . old Charlie away , nice to see I thought. while I was doing the nature watch thing my little bitch had dropped in. I’d only taken her to try and get some condition back on her , she’s got four week old pups at home. she bolted a small one , presume vixen , didn’t slip because of snow on the roc

another handy one for the young dog

"Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty we're free at last " ! Bye Bye EU Cheers.

A few out of a little wood today

Was asked to clear some rabbits for a farmer who I've known for years, he'd retired to a new place which had a few too many rabbits on it, leaving the farm to his son... Ferreted it earlier in the year, only a couple of fairly easy to do banks, had a decent enough day, 25 rabbits and no aggro.. My lad and godson done the graft!! Lol Got yapping to the old boy at the end of the day and he asked if I was still in the building game "Yeah what do you want" A new workshop out of this old barn.... So we done a little make over for him.... My brother an

October 2020, discovery day of badger hunting. This was organized for the students of the Agricultural High School. None of the students know about hunting. The two badgers caught were released. The young people appreciated the work of the dogs.

It’s on.

Back to School, boy can draw a nice picture to explain what he did Sunday.

Can’t beat a good walk with fresh snow fall few things tracked and caught Plenty miles covered Quick snap ov them posing

Many years ago i would go to a place called Gilmerton Edinburgh to spend the New year with my Uncle Pat and his Family and while i was there i would often go shooting or out with the Ferrets once we went on a large estate owed his old Commanding officer to bolt Rabbits for the Gaffer and his two Sons. The day was cold and bright and the Rabbits were flying out from all the smaller Sandy sets which were chosen to ferret and after every time a Rabbit was shot they all seemed to have a swig of Whiskey , there were plenty of digs but they were shallow and easy for the Liner to find ,

Another one for the young bitch today. Got it Handy at 1.0m

Had our first day on the estate on Sunday, not as many about as the past few years but still had a good day.

We had 2 litters last year, one went great and a few lads off here had kits out of it, the later litter was an accident, but didn't go so well...the mother had a funny one and killed a few kits, we ended up taking the 3 live kits out and 1 died leaving the last 2 being hand reared by my daughter..they stayed in her bedroom and it was a fight to get them back in the court!! Lol Fast forward 6 months and today was the first outing for this pair, I took my old Jill as well and planned on doing a few ground buries in the hill side...just me my daughter ferts and dogs... It turned into a

young dog,

Hope everyone is keeping well both physically & mentally too during these uncertain times..just wondering how you all have done regarding working your dogs this past season what with all the restrictions & lockdowns we've endured, obviously some places of the country more so than others..have you been lucky enough to carry on pretty much just like always or have you just had to write this season off & look forward to what will hopefully be a better one later in this year? On a personal level I've been very quiet this past season really as I've not travelled across the country as I

The black dog

I was up and out this morning having a bit rake about in some local spots with the old dog and the youngster. The old lakey let's you know if anything is home, dropped him in a 2 holer and sat back. After a bit baying and bumping and banging out came charlie. Off she went for another day, back in the house for 08:45.

Collie bull greyhound, very honest dog. Knows he's job very well, knows the sweet spot every time. Lamping him 3 night a week when the moon is right. If I had the time he would lamped 5 nights.

I kill the greys, to support the reds and they are coming back nicely where I am
