Good mate of mine young dog. Out of last litter Brian x Beagle cocker. Up on leg this dog to. Can cover some ground.

Lovin the bit of sun

Ive owned a few and i wish i had my time again to own a few more,many of us where about when this type of lurcher was readily available and a few of us have a fondness for what they brought and bring to the kennel.Its a sad reflection of the lurcherworld now that this type of lurcher slipped from popularity as standards and traditions dropped.This type was a lurchermans lurcher and the popular lurcher types now are a better reflection of the era we live in and a truer type of lurcher is no longer really appreciated now.

Not anymore! Two weeks ago Jonesy had a savage ferret that he left with me for a couple of weeks , this ferret was as fierce as I have ever seen , I would put my hand in the cage and he would charge over and lock on, the first time he bit right through a leather glove, drew blood and left me a scar. This is Dozer now.

Not for rangers John boy ?

Rik and I headed up the copse again this evening to see what was about. Maybe the last time up there for a while as the leaf cover is getting quite dense now although it does help with concealment. We took our usual places and in the first fifteen minutes a crow landed directly above me providing a very easy shot. Then for the next hour or so it was quite quiet apart from a few magpies, a jay and a crow coming in but not providing any opportunities for a shot. Then a woodie did land directly above but the thick leaf canopy deflected the shot. Rik managed a nice woodie so we both had some actio

Had a session on the sparrowhawk's, these are wild birds that come to dead baited perches, I had the male come in for 3 visits taking Siskin and mice and the female for a superb 7 visits taking Blue Tit and mice - what an awesome day of photography and nature.

Shame that eh.

2 litter brothers just coming 10 months

Here you go dinosaurs

Freshly from my workshop, a very small "Wanderer" with only 75mm blade made from 1.3505. Silver soldered guard from nautical bronze, spacers from fiber, copper, buffalo and aluminium, handle from a nice piece of sambar stag. Pommel from bronze. Kind regards Nico

Pure nonsense. Why comment on something that you obviously haven't a clue about.

Not very clear but a deer/grey x collie/grey my mate owns.

Rangers 3rd considering where they have had to come back from over the past few years is awesome really and also says a lot about how weak that league is. Give it a couple of seasons and I don’t reckon the lads in hoops will be laughing much then.

Just some more snaps of my bitch that i posted above.. deer grey collie grey think shes 25 inch tall

Enjoying too much food

Mate, I ain’t the one creaming in my pants about a £22 million quid side winning a Sunday league ! Lol

2-3 a night when I'm working 5-6 when I'm not. The last few years since moving to the mountains have been the best sleep I've ever had but I've suffered from insomnia from as far back as I can remember. Sure it takes years off your life but it's the sh*t ones at the end where you're in a home and the staff are stealing money from you...

I loved Big when I was a kid but I can't watch it now. The finale of the film is really creepy when you think about i

Blackcap this morning

I always turn my phone screen light down to minimum when Im in bed, I usually watch something on Youtube but last about 10 minutes before nodding off lol.

The character of bungle in rainbow was actually based on wilf

Out of town I think? Cheers, D.

How! With Jack Hargreaves. Cheers, D.

Never had to as yet Fred but I’ve come damn close on a few occasions , as I’ve got older I need to get the old adrenaline running ( just to keep me alive ?) and I find I’m going places I’d never have dreamed of in search for that rush . I took a lad freelancing one night and come close to leaving everything behind.. he still comments on what a lovely night we had and we should go back to that permission again ??

Watched one take out a herring gull a few years ago. It was on a power station and I think the gull had strayed to close to the peregrine’s nest on a cooling tower. Amazing sight. I’ve seen them stoop and chase prey, and seen them carrying caught prey, but that’s the only strike I’ve ever actually seen. The gull never knew what hit it.

Usually get to bed about 12 and my boys up about half 6 playing in his room so I get up. My Mrs will sleep till about 9-10 on weekends . I love getting up with the kids in the weekend before Mrs gets up. Gives me some time on my own with then downstairs

I had some good little vids of his sister but lost them when a old laptop died

Friday night monkey. Pigsy and can't mind the other one. Used to travel on a cloud. Dubbed to f**k but as kid thought it was great. I still recall my dads word's as he watched 5mins of it. "No wonder kids are f***ing daft these days! watching shite like this", lol

stunning images of my favourite bird. well done.

Taught you'd had job for him , knowing both parents you should be able to make that decision by yourself

I’ve always suffered with poor sleep I’ve never been an an early to bed type and used to regularly just stay awake all night doing things as it was too late to bother if o am needed anywhere very early or a long distance away , I can’t sleep and consequently have to travel or go through the night. I regularly travelled nearly 800 miles a weekend for numerous years. 350 of this would be done on a Sunday night , with very little effort and sometimes take 4 hrs, sometimes 8 , but I found it easier to loose a nights sleep and straight into work on Monday I once taught all d

Love netting you could net some ones lawn and they would be non the wiser if you were inclined Strolling around in the dark with a nice breeze in your face and no lights to alert the quarry Just a great feeling. I spent months knitting this net and first trip out caught edward scissor hands

Yes, sk’s are good. I’ve found them to be very accurate and consistent.

That horrible 57 is taking pride of place next to her big sister the 97 and by the time si,s done with her it will not be horrible any more lol atvbjimmy

Me and the eldest brat just had an hour down there. I'l put the net on the frame in the week and grab a few more canes from work.

Not too expensive Nath ,but popular here ,only 1 stockist and sells out pdq

Eyes starting to open now.

I think hancock has done alot of damage to the reputation of collie/greys.thats why there not as popular now.deer/grey seem to be just hanging on.love a good deer/grey.

These were a popular type until the saluki and bull crosses become so popular, can make canny allrounders with a steadier temperament

First pic was of a nice covering of spent Brewers hops which as said is a good soil conditioner. 3rd pic, as has been said, water pipe with scaffold net covering. The other pics are just bragging. Jok.

Get down there and watch and listen to the old boys. You'll soon find out they grow the most, the biggest and the best. Lol. Early potatoes need going in now but ridge them up as you set the rows or else that late frost will bite them. Broad beans should have been in by now but not too late. Peas can be soaked for 24 hours and they can then go in. Cabbage, Durham Early, if you have or can get some plants are ok. If you like your corn then get them soaking for a couple of days and then pot them up either in the greenhouse or certainly under a fleece. Towards the end of the month everything will
