Saturday morning ritual...

guys i sat and watched this yesterday ....and what a brilliant watch it was...its the story of a group of Nepal climbers that climb the 14 peaks that are over 8000 meters... if your looking for something interesting to watch then watch this .... some of you may remember the iconic image of the big que of climbers on everest....it was this guy that took that pic...

The first peak,when he got the helicopter flight up is annapurna,there's a shrine to the dead up at basecamp, lots of names and prayer flags on itm

Your probably hungry because you only eat 1 meal a day ? get breakfast, lunch and dinner down you

Old Phils books are superb B Dohertys books are very good. A underated book although it covers many topics is the great game by Harold Wyman.

Here's a few pics from out west.

Day 3 over and done with, it was one of the best days we’ve had ( so all the messages are saying), drive number one was the usual tip drive, from the off the birds were getting up over the guns at a good height and continued to get up right til the very end of the drive, drive two, Gordon’s pen, now although this drive is next to the tip drive and we knew some birds would of moved out from it, there was still a good show and the guns that were down on the forestry track had some very high fast birds over them. Now time for elevenses, soup, sausages with red onions, chocolate cakes and sloe gin

Breakfast ??

Went out to clear a fallen tree today and had to take some webbing straps off the back of the pick up. I found 12 Queens all very still and in hibernation on and under the straps. Put them all in a bucket with some dried leaves in and covered them with the same. They are under cover now so hopefully they'll make it to next year and build some nests. One of these Queens could be a pay check for me next year.

A long time ago (2000 I think) when I got my first three ferrets, I hadn't built a court for them yet so housed them indoors temporarily. I kept them in a large dog crate and then let them out for a "run-around" whenever I was home. They'd return to the crate to use a corner pan which I put in there as their latrine. I'd sometimes find them curled up asleep under cushions on the sofa and other odd places. It's funny to look back on now but I wouldn't do it again...I was single at the time so nobody with more class than I to complain about the eau de ferret.

Lewis Hamilton was interviewed on tv today ahead of the Saudi Gran Prix. He slagged the Saudi regime for their treatment of homosexual's, but he's still taking part. He will wear a rainbow coloured helmet to show his support of gays ! That'll teach the Saudis , eh ? Now it's being reported that his team are being sponsored by Kingspan, the company responsible for the flammable cladding on Grenfell Tower. He will wear coveralls and race in a car emblazoned with their name......... Hipocritical little shitweasle. Cheers.

Sure, I was watching them interact in a stream one very snowy day as I waited for a fox to turn up. They were only a few yards away. They were chasing each other around and would flick their tails to flash the cream white feathers similar to how an alarmed moorhen does. It changed how I see them now. Meatloaf is simple. Food blender. Cleaned meat, a little amount of onion, black pepper, salt and a slice of bread. A little olive oil. Press the button until it is all a paste. Put in an earthenware or tin and bake for about 40 minutes. Add other ingredients if you

carbs are pretty much everything else thats not protein or fat.... 3 types of carbs ....starchy ...fibber ... and sugar.... carbs gets stored as sugar in your muscles ....or if theres excess converted to fat and stored as fat

I think its a small part of lots of things, contributing to the numbers falling, buzzard and predator numbers up, thermal and nv rifles, hedgerows becoming fenced, newbuild plots popping up, more traffic on the roads, diseases mutating etc..

Noggin, Ned and Maud...

nobody mentioned old phils books yet, in my opinion some of the best writtenand photographed by a man that has truly been there and done it for years,long before a lot of the lads on here were even born, an execellent writer.

A bit of joint effort on the squirrels thanks to a few fenny’s and the cee....zed. Plus another bonus one on the way back. All hail the .22 ??

I love seeing all these pics of bushing dogs. Load of character. I used to have great fun back in the day. The jr in this pic was my best ever ferreting dog. In this neck of the woods we have loads of cover and you get easy holes around the edge that never hold any thing. But the amount of times he would thrash the cover and the old bunny would go to ground in them nice easy holes. He put a lot away and once he go on the line that was pretty much game over. He never went to ground on rabbits but was just as happy 8 feet down duking it out with other stuff Great to see people

Chicken and leek pie, new spuds, carrots, cavolo nero and a cream and white wine sauce ?

Cheers pal, never thought to ask you !....next time I will !....i was up above Reeth and had to walk to them to take a camping stove !!....it was brutal, couldn’t stand up in the wind, never been in weather like it....they spent 4 days fully clothed in bed ........reckoned it was the best place they had ever stayed at !
