Another cracking day for it yesterday.... Spicy spatchcock chicken, potato wedges and vegetables...

Had our daily walk up the field as we have been doing since lockdown and the sand Martin's have turned up for the first time today. They seem to be competing for the same hole in the bank. We've been seeing a few bunches of lampprey also the last 4 days. Family lockdown ain't too bad.

Me and the missus are on these bad boys tonight ........

Got the starters alive with some peach jolokia flakes in the chuck steak burgers

Could not get the Poached eggs out of my head especially after my mate left half a dozen fresh eggs on my door step. With a slice of my own bread. Yea forgot the bloody mushrooms. Cheers Arry

Im completely on the fence about all this,whether its the figures,the illness itself....i just dont know enough to have a strong opinion either way but something thats obvious to me that just seems to get brushed under the carpet is did we honestly think we was never going to come unstuck being as ridiculously overpopulated as we are ?......did we not think that the infrastructure of our country was ever going to be effected by mass immigration ? In 20 years the population of London has increased by 3 million.....the population of Birmingham has doubled !....it doesnt take a clever person

Never hurts to keep on top of them? Reminds me to get back out in amongst them with the wheaten x... She not seen any for a few months, stuck local only got cattle and horses which she is bombproof with ?

This will be the next phase, neighbours calling the police on each other for nothing, and 50% of the population thinking they are experts and attempting to police the 50% of the nation that are just trying to carry on as normal, interesting human zoo ?

Today's effort

Sometimes old arrest warrants have a habit of resurfacing at the most inopportune moments,and foreign police aren't as understanding as they could be,wrong place wrong time,it could have been far worse ? Recent lesson learnt,always wear a mask ?

Mixed emotions about today’s Brisket adventure it was nice but I cooked it for 7 hours expecting it to be super soft and tender but I think for the size of the cut I smoked I should have smoked it for less time still a nice bark crust and my smoke halo was evident but next time less time in the smoker.

Im certainly no peace maker but in all fairness having just found out a family member has caught this shit probably isnt the best time or person to be getting into debates about it with. Hope the lad makes a speedy recovery Bird

This is the problem though mate we,re not actually in a " lockdown "....the word gets thrown around like we are but we,re not or that shop would be shut and them 100 people would be indoors.....id guess the ways shops like that get around it all is because they sell food,even just crisps ! Ive said for a few weeks now either get us into a proper lockdown or dont bother.......this is all too half hearted for my liking.

I’m sorry grey but eggs for me are one food that hold tradition boiled eggs n soldiers scrambled eggs on toast fried eggs and poached none should ever visit a microwave Ya mate might be a chef but I’d leave the table if I heard the bing of a micro ?

Was a polecat when it went in. ? Cheers, D.

We've just raised a litter here out of my Patxspringer bitch, put my wife's old whippetxrussell dog over her and she had 8 pups. All were spoken for by friends straight away but we kept two back. I'm really looking forward to bringing them on over the summer

This one hung around a little longer than he should.. roughly 18 yrd, hit behind the eye with 11mm steel.

Have You soiled your only pair of y fronts again mort? ? No one is advocating slipping dogs through sheep..... That would be on par with letting more than one terrier to ground at once?people in glass houses and that?

Best not bother ewes in lamb or any form of sheep.stay out the road on um if possible however good the dogs are imo

Heard the rains coming....so made the most of the sun again.. Rib eye steak, Greek salad, potatoe salad and a couple of lemon sole done in foil with lemon and butter....

Get to see all that within a 1000yds from my house. I am lucky really.

I'll be lighting up in about 45 minutes. Got some really rough pork mince that I normally use for meatballs. This time it is going to be used for pork, apple and leek burgers. Home made chips, par boiled then fried over the charcoal after coating in duck fat, home made BBQ beans using tomato puree, smoked paprika, a touch of hot chilli pepper, a bit of chorizo, a few lardons, minced onions and garlic and some pre-cooked white beans. I've sliced half an onion, sprinkled salt, pepper, and garlic powder over then wrapped it all up in a foil parcel to go on the griddle. And some of those burger bu

There's no money in selling dogs.... And certainly no money in ferrets, they get given to good working homes round here?

Well. Went to the shops today for my paper few other things milk/bread,only me as customer with gloves on, and face covered must have Been 30 odd people shopping going in and out. The shop staff, fair play doing the right thing with distance marks, most with masks /gloves. I've said on here before these people must think the virus, dont come by Hereford /border.well had some bad news yesterday my nephew got the virus now, in hospital on oxergen mask. Don't know where been, he lives in Telford which about 40 odd mile from. Well I do know these thick c**ts would feel difernt and be more s

My snack this morning .....

Got a text from the chicken farmer yesterday “ fox in hen house field “ . I have shot 6 in the last week or so , where do they keep coming from ? I texted back “ be over later” . I knew from my previous visits that there were foxes working the bank behind the shed so I thought I’d have a go with the caller and cat food trick I did last time , but this time from my pile of blocks . I placed the caller out to the right of the power line pole in daylight and sat back and waited for darkness. On with the pheasant distress call . It wasn’t too long and Charlie showed up , I turned

The best way for poached eggs is to start with grilled bacon. Then make sure ya mrs is fully trained in the art of poached egg warfare bend her ear and tell she be traded in for a new wife if she makes a fk up . over a bit of time they get it spot on ?

The only way you will own or breed anything of any working value is to take the money factor out of the equation.

I owned a Beddy/whippet bitch,about21",a few decades ago now.I paid about £20 for it at 14 months of age and the lad was sick of it because it chased hard and would not strike.I spent a few months getting used to the bitch,building up its confidence with a few drops and getting it out with the ferrets and run after run after run.Eventually the dogs feet and brains came together and it had a very useful first season on the rabbits and picked up a bit of feather.The bitch was fleet footed,quick to learn and in its second season was becoming a decent mutt around the warrens with the ferrets and w

Just like to show the dogs, few sheep once in a while, both are sound with stock, but with lambs, it never hurts to show a few, and as Buck bumps In to far more stuff than old Bryn does, it good thing. Woody on the lead as wouldn't trust him around sheep, cattle, horses the little shit, he was rescue dog before my lad had he about 10 I think

I do understand what your saying but in life we have to balance risk in everyday life all the time. My dad has had it and recovered and was quite poorly and yes it was a concerning time but you can not remove risk or death from daily life and if we are shut up for to long as a country then more people will end up dying. It’s not life vs economy it’s life vs life as a country with a tanked economy has no money for public services and poverty kills just not as obviously as a virus. The cold hard facts are people lose loved ones every single day and as a country our government have to weigh up wh

They were delicious ... well done Dan ....

Not explaining to you Deano. Cheers, D.

hate that word starve lol gives me stomach cramps thinking about it ?roll on tomoro might kick the day off with a lockdown omelette

Rightly so

Where I think the problem is, is perhaps these days a lot of dog folk don’t know as much about farming as they once did. I (and many farmers) put their rams in, in october / November. Which means a group of ewes at that time has been put to be mates, in the first few weeks the embryo isn’t that set, and too much stress etc (or even a nutritional knock) can lead to embryos being lost, basically early stage abortion. I get one chance a year to make money out of the sheep, and if I’m honest and I saw a lad slip a Lurcher at a poxy rabbit day in with my sheep and scattered them all

Am i the only nosey old f****r whos trying to work out who are the kids and who are the parents in Newkids family ?

Thanks gnash, and the other lads as well. You right mate, when your sister says on the phone, her son, who big strapping 6ft 3in 16 1/2st bloke, carnt get his breath and using oxergen mask, you deff think about this virus in very different way. And yeh I may be a old bloke, but still strong and fit enough to really hurt somebody if I lost me rag, so try keep me cool most times.

I can see you haven’t really thought this through mate ! ?

Careful of your back Raymondo ! .......we can’t have thousands of disappointed ladies roaming the West Midlands in need of a service now can we !

Some deer stalking photos.

A lot of people are looking for someone to blame. It's a stressful time.

Result mr wilkes, I think it’s an amazing thing to be able to do in this world of instant everything, actually make a weapon from stuff in a hedge and provide a meal, ??

Don’t take this the wrong way mate, but sit down and read through your post. The world has enough folk already breeding and peddling dogs.
