Dead on here. Season ticking along nicely for us. Mother and son.

All the pups left on the weekend but I’ve kept the runt back as I don’t feel I’ve found the right person. I’m looking for a young lad that’s keen to get out with his old man etc or a decent fella who keeps dogs for life not use and abuse them. The pup will be free of charge to the right person, he’s very well bred, he should make 23-24. He was the most confident pup in the litter. Absolute character. I’ve turned down money for him as I don’t feel the homes were right ones. He’s the pup looking at his old man, he’s genuine 3/8 wheaten 5/8 grey. who ever ends up with him wont be disappointed as

Not been on for a while lads, change of phone lost log in etc. Now got the app so see how we go. Not much changed other than animals growing on. Turkey making good weight. Ducks ARE a pain in the arse as expected. This pig cross (Pietrain/Saddleback) is slower growing than previous breeds. But today we got our first ever duck egg at Meadowview cottage which was a nice surprise. Interested to hear what others have been up to......

Best part of job, starting young dogs

Time is the only currency you spend without knowing your balance,use it wisely.

Had a call from a mate yesterday askung if a facncied a trip out with him and his pup on some new permission. After a quick check of the local forcast i decide to give it ago. Has luck happened the ground was curcled by a road so it wasnt easy to potentially get lost lol. His young dogs field craft was good for only 6 and a half months as she navigated the fences and brooks well which was ideal. Anyway there was plenty of rabbits around but the grass was at a length where they were just squatting and you couldnt see them. We went about the night steady with the dogs catching 16 rabbi

Well I made a last minute decision to have a look out and try a little bit of bunny bashing with my young apprentices one being the dog and the other my boy. Before I even left the house one of the apprentices was sound asleep and chose not come but is now up and moaning he wants to go tonight. Thats another story lol. Got to my chosen spot and there was hardly anything to be seen which I could only put down to the fact they were clearing trees off the side of the main road. After 3 fields I decided to head back and try another spot. The 2nd spot producing just 3 rabbits in 4 fields.

Wifey did a Cottage Pie tonight, got to have the HP. Cheers Arry

This job down here in Kent has produced a good day today ended up on 28....first Warren 20 holes that looked good only produced 3... After that we used long nets on stretches of hedrow that had channels cut in....and there were hardly many actual Warren's...just little run throughs....and rabbits sat tight in the bramble....but these old hobs are good terriers and know the score

I despair for this country . An illegal immigrant is sent back to France under the “ one in , one out “ scheme and gets straight on a boat and comes back. An illegal immigrant gets jailed for 12 months for sexually assaulting a 14 year old and is “accidentally “ released after 1 month. They shouldn’t be here in the first place ! Starmer is on tv playing the world leader with other European leaders , promising Ukraine more money and missiles while the country is falling apart ! Cheers.

It gets worse

Nice few fish last night

Airbnb is nice,walking distance from the harbour,beach etc...weathers ABIT naughty...but won't stop my boys chucking a few lures about... currently on route to the giants causeway..

Philosophically, I’m an old school stoic, maybe a fatalist, I’m not too sure. I think you can influence your fate, your future, whatever you want to call it, just as both you and I chose to by moving abroad, but you can’t change fate if cancer is going to strike or a drunk driver is going to mow you down, some things you just have to take and make the best of it. Politically, I’m certainly well right of centre , but can accept some left wing views without being ideological or dogmatic about either. Religiously I don’t believe in god, but absolutely agree with Christian values.

Small town diner,chicken and bean wrap,home made tomato soup and locally caught smoked salmon on toasted rye sarnie and home made crisps,nice lunch.

That's part of what's going wrong with this country. Everyone can see the problem, but we aren't even allowed to talk about it. It's a shocking state of affairs.

Pissing down today so knocked up a slab of Flapjack made with dark treacle in stead of golden syrup. Then decided to make a Dorset Dough Cake loaf. Cheers Arry

Wifey done sticky mini ribs and mini roasties. Cheers Arry

On the plus side the little shit has spent his evening waving his flag on the motorway bridge Talking to an old friend today and he was telling me his son was at chess club and was a child genius. I was like 'my lads been suspended twice and his hobby is flag waving and killing stuff '

Did our yearly trip to the Fraser, was a brutal trip to be fair with it pissing down, cold and windy most of the 4 days we were there. Only had two small salmon and no sturgeon over the first 3 days, but got into fish on the last day fishing the harrison rive. We ended up with a couple of salmon and 4 sturgeon over 6ft on day four, biggest 2 went 7ft 8" and 7ft 3"
