Been leaving a lot of the self seeders ( thistles, buttercups etc) to grow on in the back garden along with the planted Hazel, field maple, copper and green beech, variety of honeysuckles, summer flowering jasmine, and Gertrude Jekyll rose, partly through lack of time, and to generate wildlife habitat, place smells like a perfume factory, makes a nice change from the scent of the stoners I'm surrounded by

I was going to get to that bit!!! The church abandoned it and was hoping to sell it!!! It was bon the verge of being sold.....to....THE LOCAL MOSQUE!!!! Luckily it was stopped and a group of interested individuals have taken it over and are hoping to protect and renovate it. I guess that's the point of my post! How can we allow stuff like this go to ruin. Even with billions of pounds stuff like this couldn't and wouldn't be achieved or built today. Shows how far we have fallen.

few photos from spring to june

Cheers Arry

Last post for now as I need to pick my lad up from boxing. The brass alter thing is now registered as a piece of listed public art and protected for the nation.

From a ruff old field and cow shed to this, finished today ( well apart from the rubber for the arena but my mate will go back and put that on when it arrives) I think between the 3 of us we’ve done a cracking job and hopefully when the owner is back at the weekend they are pleased with how it looks my work here is done ??

I was recently given the opportunity to visit and look around st Edmunds church in Rochdale. I found it interesting so I'll add some photos in case anyone else does. I'll do it as a few different posts as i go along and get time tonight. St Edmund was Englands first patron Saint and apparently there is a group trying to re-establish him as such. As you enter the church st Edmund is shown on a carving above the door. He was martryd after being killed by arrows by the Vikings. It was commissioned by Albert royd a local industry magnate in 1873. It was built at massive cost of £2

Nice steak for last nights tea anaemic chips and coleslaw

I did steak and fried spuds.... Didn't get after pic , wasn't quick enough lol

While I would happily hang the whole Tory contingent....to claim they damaged the social fabric of Britain (quite true, certainly didn't do anything to stop the decline) while being pro labour is madness. The social fabric of Britain is being damaged by mass immigration more than any other cause, and labour are voting and arguing against any attempts to control it. I've said it before.... nobody disagrees with your critic of conservatives.....but it's the position of being pro labour and pro more of what we hate the Tories for that allows us to see you as pathetic and rediculus. The cons

Had a bit of luck.... Lol

Hey up you lot, I do some part time work.couple of days per week, they no I've had loads of hospital appointments just of late, but still kept my job open.for me, anyways I had a biopsy job, lymph nodes done this morning up at the hospital, not nice at all, plus an endoscopy , but when I got home, there was this hamper choc a block.wi goodies on.my.doorstep.from.the garage I work for, good of em innit,

Seen that top clip several months ago, dc, and to me, it probably still is the most impressive piece of wildlife footage I've ever seen. That drop once it catches hold, must be about 50 foot, and it never let's go, even after hitting the ground a few more times!! Incredible.

Shes funny as f**k.. Shes friends of a friend, never met her myself but was in my Mrs old salon a few times, meant to be a real good sort and a laugh...my mum is mates with her mum and she is quite embarrassed by her antics, I think she's says a lot of things we all do but most in the spit light are too scared to say...Good on her

I've never really looked at stained glass before but this one blew me away. What we are, or were once capable of.

Not one single nail in this roof! It's made from cedars of Lebanon. Imported from the holy land. Albert also imported saplings from Lebanon to his estate in Worcestershire to grow and be available for timber should repairs be needed. Unfortunately the trees have a presavation order on them so repairs have been done in other timber. I'm sure the trees could of been used and more saplings planted as Albert wished.

Hmm…..it’s now breaking that Sir Bernard Jenkins, one of the Boris hating Tory MP’s on the Priveledges Committee that destroyed Boris’s political career for having a glass of wine and a piece of cake during lockdown is now being accused of attending a birthday party for his wife with other politicians and having wine and cake during lockdown…… That good old German saying “ schadenfreude” springs to mind ! Cheers.

To warm for anywhere but the beach.

Anyone on here supporting a team down here? Donny Rovers fan myself and think we have a chance. Been busy in the transfer market so far and needed to be. Biggest acquisition is new manager. If there are some L2 fans then maybe meet up home and away? I take my old boy and little ones to footy like so it will be low key. Keeping my family happy is more important than appeasing some young reprobates on an Internet forum....so if you are like minded and have family with you, give me a shout. If your still young and wifeless then f**k off and watch it without meeting me........y

hi mate, i have done a few more since....but been a bit busy doing other things at the moment....you know how it is bud....my wife and i have our own craft shop that is seasonal so that takes up a lot of our time during the summer months... come off season i will be doing my things again..... Tilly....

Iv hunted this certain spot in donegal for over twenty years,about thirteen mile from my house,cracking spot always was my favourite spot,big fields an lots of gear to go at. An right in the middle of it there is a stone house with a tree boundry bout 1 football pitch in size with a cracking we river running through it. The old man an woman passed away years ago an its all overgrown. Durning covid i did a bit of digging trying to find the owner with no luck,thinking to myself i would love to buy it. Me an my son an his three friends went out a dander on saturday an there wa

Well said Croation politician declares the world health organization a terrorist group

hi Eddie, we sell a bit of most things really, nothing expensive.....we make our own stuff....i turn bowls, ornaments on lathe, chopping blocks, planters, bird tables/houses, things like that, my wife does a bit of painting, and she makes costume jewellery were she wraps crystal stones pendants, bracelets, ear rings, and so on....there's also t shirts, baseball caps....soaps, candles smellies etc, .....we also buy things in from garage sales/ closing down sales if we think they would sell....things for kids....we also have a small hill billy section lol.....like a mobile phone made out of wood

Acrobatic and fluid.

Albert royd was a freemason and obsessed with symbolism. The church is full of it. This stain glass window shows Adam and Eve. It's full of hidden signs and symbols. But one of my favourite parts is the serpents face....it's actually the face of the local liberal MP ?

Had to smash a cold one myself before a cold shower

Cooling down after welding all day in a second floor plant room with steam pipes in.... ?

I haven't included the pics of the nettles, wanna see?

Watch this.

Don't know what these roses are but they smell like proper roses, non of the new ones I've planted seem to have much scent

surprisingly Tim it still shoots pellets, as rough as it looks...I could give it to my mate,who's a gunsmith to sort out,but I've got it soaking in some oil,will give it a rub down and re blue it,oil the stock see how it looks and shoots ?

most the junior guns are penny's to buy new,got my one lad one of these in 1.77 with a scope,under £130,also gave him an old crosman co2 2.2 rabbit stopper someone gave me..been shooting them since he was 6/7 yr old.. Google Image Result for https://www.abgunsmiths.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Junior-Air-Rifles.jpg IMAGES.APP.GOO.GL in the process of sorting this out for my youngest lad who's 9?

this is our other keeper he lives with my daughter hes eight weeks in picture ,and hes a little handful thanks for looking

things happen for a reason mate.....and you was meant to meet the owner when you did.....good luck mate....

normally when I give the fat girl on the counter a smile...she loads it up? must be losing my touch len?

Finally got some on the sticks

I was gifted some dvd's on here a long while back from Dido.1 who said I could have the FOC if I offered the same once I had seen and had enough with them. I honoured my word and I passed them onto Sussex on here a few yrs back......2017?! Just wondered if they are still knocking about or doing the rounds.....if they are I'd really like another go to show my kids now they have grown up a bit. Anyone remember this or did it lose steam????? Apologies to Dido and Sussex, amended now I found their names on the search. Ry

Porcine buttocks hanging out the hawthorn

I killed a heap of them for a lad one time, and brought two home for the pot. They were as tough as an old leather boot.

I know an old boy who I did my underground CPS with when I first started when he retired they gave him a deputys stick and a Davy lamp and his checks with his number he had had for 46 years he had worked at the pit since being 14 years old. I often think about him as he was one of life's characters you meet in your life to say he had worked down the pit all his life he lived another 23 years after retiring at 60 a lot wernt as lucky.

Most towns now have an Ukraine flag alongside a mincer towel and maybe a Union Jack if your lucky .f****n disgrace .

Update FEO came around today nice guy nice informal chat. First thing he wanted to do was check out the security of the cabinet asked me to open it and gave it a couple of tugs happy with the cabinet we sat down ran through the application form asked a couple of questions about my past nothing to intrusive then moved onto safety questions and some general chat about guns and cars all in all lasted about 40 minutes, at the end of the visit I asked what the next step of the application is and he said ‘next step is you wait for your certificate to come through the door’ I then

Found this in the wood tonight. I know it's not the same but looks quite old. When we were young my dad used to make a concoction by sealing nipbone plants in bottles. He would then make us soak any aches or sprains in it. Stunk terrible

I remember a while back when you said you were going to start making the dandelion cream how's it been working out? Assume you see some benefit if you're still making it

Just starting to go down now most my birds nipper. Nest of five a week old pieds

All that stuff may have been working lines back in the states but I know most of the people that origionally bought that stuff over from the states and a fair few of the people that kept it after that and all 90% of them did was breed the arse out of it.So although some of it was worked in the states most of it here did nothing so to call it working lines isnt quite correct when you have to go back multiple generations to find dogs that saw any serious work.

we are really pleased with the pups we got,i had to let a few people down which wasnot nice we lost three pups two the bitch bit to hard not sure why the third died but it was a sickner,i didnot sell one pup just made sure they went to the right homes
