Eldest grandson and granddaughter made me this, certainly put a tear in my eye

Old Moocher was a Beddy/Grey x Collie/Grey....? He was a real honest dog and an amazing retriever,...he fetched everything straight back to hand, even dragged a few larger bits and pieces back..? The fecker started off badly,..I don't know why? I schooled him proper and he had speed to burn, but was a tad excitable....and this is always the precursor of trouble... However, I did manage to cure him ,..mostly by running and running , and fecking running that silly shite noisiness, right out of his system....? Lovely kind-hearted and manageable cross,...I liked him so

Few beddy collie xs

Been busy fixing the pens and getting the drinking systems clean and working. I’ve used an acid to clean the pipes this year and it seems to have done an excellent job . I thought I was on top of the squirrels this year but they just keep coming. These new box traps are doing a good job though. I moved two to a small wood and I’ve had 28 in 4 days. Yesterday I was working in the wood and emptied the traps 3 times picking up 12 in a single day . I had a full hose in this trap today .

Very good point right there P. Been saying the same for years. Don't really know where all the competetive shite has come from, ie; I caught 25 last night, yeah?, I caught 30 AND a hare, yeah?, I caught 30, 2 hares AND a fox etc etc! Who actually gives a f**k?! As long as people get out and catch a few, with the cross/type they like, surely that's ALL THAT MATTERS?!

The Honours Committee can block him, but Boris and the Tory's can't. It just depends on how many friends he has on the committee, or how many he has something on ! As I say, he will be elevated to the Lords.........but in my mind he should be elevated by his neck. Cheers.

Another generation on the ground, one left to send out and that's me done breeding wise for a good few years.

Yes mate I run beddy collie cross out of home bred stuff but more beddy than collie handy dogs i rate the cross??I Know a few people that run the cross

I know and I get it but why. If you were working 35 degree temperatures and your boss told you to wear a donkey jacket mole skin trousers wellies and a Wolley hat and he was stood next to you doing the same job in a pair of shorts and flip flops how long would you stay dressed.

One for GL Yesterday Pork, bubble and a couple of fresh eggs...

"Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?" That line ,credited to a rather notorious Actress of the Classic Hollywood era , can still raise a smile today . Though the firearm aspect of the quote has generally been replaced by a less subtle reference to a banana . Yesterday l set forth into the woods with not a gun ,or a banana , but a fishing rod in my pocket . A little forest ghyll that is for the most only a few inches deep and a couple of feet wide had been dammed many years ago to provide a local water supply . I had no idea if it even held any f

? Taken a lot of rabbits over the last 60 years with various working dogs,....but, under the spotlight,..I would think that 78 with my Sadie , back in the 1980's would be the most that I've grassed in a night. Now I know that lads have bagged up , on the Dales and similar rabbit laden areas, but back then, such Elysian Fields were unknown to me. We were poaching in West Sussex, mostly on stubble, and it was strictly a case of lamp on, lamp off, and keep on moving..? You could not get yourself or the dog into any kind of rhythm, it was all in and out , guerrilla tactics,.hardly conduc

A selection of ciders for me this evening ?

A lorry drove in the quarry today for a load and was wearing a mask and a hardhat in the cab with his window closed..strange as feck..

2 late u ran him off d

Cheers, D.

Anything mate, if it's shite it will go in the raffle lol Seriously, one man's shite is another man's treasure, it will be appreciated whatever it is ? Cheers, D.

All gone mate, they were gone straight away, just a matter of where I wanted to send them.

But my point is they are demonstrating the fact that you don’t need to wear a mask as it offers no protection. By wearing a mask we are perpetuating this panic and control the government has over us. The elderly who are terrified need confidence and that will come from normality and normality will come from not wearing a mask and not social distancing. America is fully open, Texas and Florida binned the mask months ago they have full stadiums day in day out watching sport going to nightclubs malls fully open everybody back to work and there has been no rise in infections. That is scientific pr

Can't argue with that Perhaps everyone has just been screwed, passed over, marginalised and ridiculed for so long that they've just said 'f**k it' .......... you keep paying your taxes and keep getting less and less in return. We (me, the missus and our daughter) take care of our own affairs. We help friends, family and those around us but, that's it. .......... we don't do any national charities, only the local ones. We help the local school. We check in on senile doris down the road. ........... we have an effect where we can. There's no

The bottom line is very simple and has nothing to do with looking after others and looking after your country and everything to do with common sense and fair play. Everybody is wearing a mask and social distancing on the orders of the worlds leaders BUT the worlds leaders are not wearing masks are not social distancing are flying in and out of countries without quarantining. SO WHY DOES THE MAN ON THE STREET HAVE TO DO IT ………

Steak and ale pie with loads of veg

Mine has been an absolute pleasure to keep so far. Very loyal and biddable, taught himself to jump and clears anything he fancies, has retrieved what he’s caught so far. Long way to go, and we will see what he has in him, but he runs with a style that is fantastic to watch and has endless stamina. Although he looks racey, he is strongly built and has a head like a brick ?

So does rude boy. ??

Hi everyone, as most of you know, there has been a recent death in the THL family, Johnny Boy. At this year's annual Fishing Competition, we will be donating all the money raised for the benefit of his family and wonderful children. I am sure there are plenty on here who don't attend but would love to help and as such I am appealing for people to contribute items for the auction and raffle we do. It doesn't matter how small (or how big?) anything you could send will be greatly appreciated, hunting related or not, every little helps, as they say. Please send to the following

Its a state of mind you know

I hate wearing masks - it's not natural. I do keep one in my pocket so that I can put the old biddys in the shops at ease if need be. The whole thing is bollocks anyway - I've made it to 42yrs without dropping dead from other people's germs.

I'm alright as long as I don't stroke um

I'm allergic to people in the same way , especially kennel blind fuckers ??

But wearing a piece of cloth over your face won't stop you catching it. It could even make it more likely. In theory wearing a mask will stop your breath spreading as far so hopefully not infecting as many people, so it does have a place. But at the minute and how it's being used is insanity. Random pieces of cloth, warm and damp, being touched dozens, if not hundreds of times. Walk in a shop put it on, walk out pull it down. Even going to the pub involves half a dozen touches of warm damp germ filled material. Get up for a piss/shite and you put mask on, walk in and out of bog pulling m

If you roll around clemmo in stinging nettles, dirty Sanchez styleeeeeeee before seeing your dogs, it'll take your mind off any allergy symptoms

Made myself a new belt on my old buckle. Greasy Oak stirrup leather.

I think a lot of it is a massive farce but as a 36 year old bloke, I’m not standing in a que next to an old woman who’s all masked up etc, whilst I’ve got no mask on and it is probably making her feel nervous and worried...... just because “I don’t give a f*ck and no one can tell me what to do”. Grow the f*ck up. And that’s not aimed at socks but anyone. Like I said I think it’s a massive farce, but I have a little bit of respect for the elderly, those flat out working in the nhs, and other folk who have been suffering through a lot of this. How hard is it to stick a mask on for the time you’r

So all you guys wearing a mask because you can’t be arsed with arguing with anyone. Don’t you think you are keeping this going and the sooner you stop the quicker this will all be over. The heads of the most powerful nations on earth and the queen at the G7 didnt wear masks. It emerged today from a whistle blower that masks are not worn in Downing Street. Don’t you think the people who have the ears of the worlds best medical experts would be wearing masks if they were that effective. Clearly they are not needed so for fukc sake take them off and live a normal life.

Nice one Dave, We'll have loads of auction prizes but be missing our chief auctioneer.. ?

Spent over 25 yrs fishing for chub, finally got my first 7 lber last season....still puts a massive smile on my face everytime that rod tip slams around...my 11 yr old lad got the bug now,down the local brook everyday after school hunting them down?

My own home made meatballs. Cheers Arry

We would carry the pigs as above for miles ,sometimes over steep ruff ground where the under growth is heavy & thick.
