Well good start Monday was an American bank holiday so today was my first full day on site, anyways after my first shift I’ve been told the job is mine but doesn’t start until March which is only 5 weeks away but the lads on base want me to start sooner so are chatting with the boss either way it looks like a cracking job in really beautiful surroundings especially in summer and all being good should carry me on to my pension

This is my pup Tino out of Boots x his daughter Rose..had a brilliant season with all 3 of the young dog's,they haven't put a foot wrong,Tino caught 3 x teeth on his first try, absolutely spot on he was,Gus the black & tan has been on a couple of teeth & was equally as good as Tino,the little bitch Maggie was a lot slower to come to hand due to being held up for two months with a wrist injury after Gus jumped a gate & landed on her so she hasn't been tried yet,as for other stuff they've caught their fare share both day & night,all 3 retrieve brilliantly & things are looking

We've done some miles since we left Fort Worth on Sunday morning.. Stayed in the Wichita mountains, small place called Medicine Park, full of old history.. had a few beers in the local bar with a proper character, no teeth and wearing a raccoon hat, told me that the previous landlord shot a man dead in the bar as he came in waving a gun about, looked at my feet and said "he dropped dead right where your standing" lol... he was born and raised in a small town 15 miles up the road, proper wild west country.. was a complete wreck head, but great company for a couple of hours.. Moved on

Didn't get much work done today, set off and then noticed I had bald tyres so had to go and get 4 new ones fitted. Then it was home to pick up the dog and gun as id had an offer of an evening flight from @Blackmag. After driving to his chosen spot we stood talking in the corner of a field waiting for evening to come on he happened to mention that he'd seen signs of an otter. 10 minutes later I saw a patterdale terrier with a funny type of run that was coming right across the field towards us. I pointed it out as it dawned on us what it was. If we had been a few steps further back into t

Four hours in and coming on a treat have chucked in a tin of baked beans as it needed a little something more, colds a flus everywhere need some good tuck to stay strong

Perhaps the most interesting thing for me was a tour we went on yesterday morning. The whole site is now owned by the Navajo Nation, they bought the land back for 9.3 billion dollars, so 150 years after losing their land they now own it, everyone who works there was Navajo, so our tour guide was a Navajo woman, as it was just me and my wife on the tour, we sat in the front of the truck for 2.5 hours and talked to this woman, every subject from history, religion, politics, nature, culture...it was fascinating, there are people still living in the valley with no electricity or running water, liv

The sooner the people who live on the island of Ireland, north or south, acknowledge that the present threat to our way of life is much greater than the traditional 'them uns' 'yous ens' finger pointing the better. They need to open their eyes and really look at how the invasion is affecting the future of our nation, north or south.

Nice little eBay find for £10

Yesterday was really interesting.. we stayed in a hotel that is right in the Navajo Indian reservation, it started as a trading post in the 1920s owned by a white couple called Goulding. Harry Goulding and his Wife recognised the area in Monument Valley needed outside investment, so the drive to Hollywood in the 1930s and approached film director John Ford, eventually John Ford agreed to come out and look at the area. The rest is history, with Ford directing loads of films shot in Monument VallEY, with John Wayne starring in many. Other moteable films like Thelma and Louise, Back to the Future

When my father first had myself and my brother over to England when we were young first thing he set us up at was signing on. All over London. It was like a full time job travelling from place to place day in day out. At one stage I’d say we were signing under around 40 different names at once. Whenever the feeling of guilt about my past comes over me I just look at the politicians and realise we’re weren’t that bad. At least we had the excuse of being poor.
