    It was my third day yesterday and it was a belter despite the rain, had my mate up from Lincolnshire and a few guests that were described to me as “ proper shooting men “ so the pressure was on for me and my apprentice to put on a good show, and I think we managed it, now I always play the day down to them to try and manage expectations, but in my head I had two drives that would make the day, first drive ( tip drive ) was unbelievable, they get no shooting until we turn the drive towards the end and then it went mental, at one point it sounded like everyone pulled the trigger at the same time

    Roast beef again today
  3. Stavross
    My turn to do elevenses for the shoot tomorrow, so I did leek and potato soup and a big corned beef pie, and a bottle of my bramble gin just had a jacket spud with cheese for my tea

    Just me tonight because Mrs Stav has gone to see some boy band in Newcastle, so I went for venison madras, nice but it was bloody hot
  6. Stavross
    Sausage, mash and onion gravy ( down side is I have to blitz the gravy because Mrs Stav doesn’t like the texture of onions )

    Just bagging up wheat today and feeding the flying chickens, nobody at the farm today, they are all out shooting, so I stopped at the house to see how the old boy was, now he’s got dementia so I get him to come and give me “ a hand “ to keep him busy and he can tell me his stories from when he was a lad, first time today he couldn’t remember my name, it really put a lump in my throat, it’s so sad to watch him deteriorate, and I was thinking that when he’s gone all of the stories he has told me over the last 25 years will be gone as well, just very sad

    Pork loin choppy things tonight with mash and tender stem
  9. Stavross
    Pot roast beef for us today, the only down side is I’ve done one for my mam so I haven’t got enough for a stroganoff tomorrow now picked up a little book earlier, see if I can find something different to do with the deer

    For Mrs Stav, chicken with creamed leeks, rice and tender stem for me saag chicken, better than any takeaway

    Mrs Stav got too choose what she wanted for tea last night, so we had a kids tea of sausage, mash and beans I made the decision today so we had mince and dumping

    Not really, I’m next to Helmsley probably about 30 minutes from Grinkle Park
  13. Stavross
    It’s bloody cold up at the shoot, we’ve got between 5/6” of the white stuff but 5 miles further over towards Whitby they have between 12/14” a big part of the moor is cut off, my birds are looking good and were pleased to see me as with this very cold weather I’ve introduced a lot more maize and soy beans to keep them warm

    Might be the same lad, these are from Richmond, they have a machine that looks like a screeding machine, it will only take them about an hour to do this drive and they charge a fortune, they are taking a days wages for a couple of hours graft, nice work if you can get it

    We used to do everything with a rifle, a lad I know used to do bulls with a .308, year ago I was asked to do two pigs, when I got there they were the kids pets and had collars on and they wanted to watch it being shot

    Finished off clearing the hedge by 1 thought I’d go home until the tarmacers for the driveway job said there wasn’t enough stone in ( they definitely said 120mm ) so off there to put another ton in
  17. Stavross
    Bit of pruning today, I’m 15 minutes from my house and we had 2” of snow this morning, nothing here, but it’s bloody freezing
  18. Stavross
    Homemade chicken and veg pie tonight with hasselbacks and tender stem
  19. Stavross
