    I can’t be doing with my veg floating around the plate, Mrs went back in the kitchen to get more for hers

    Mrs Stavs mates with us tonight so I did them a little chicken dinner
  3. Stavross
    Cod with chorizo panko breadcrumbs, hasselbacks and griddled asparagus tonight
  4. Stavross
    Job done, not the prettiest of finishes but it looks a lot better than it did

    Sorry to hear about your dad, it’s a terrible thing to lose a parent, my thoughts are with you and your family

    Another mushroom ragu but this time with some garlic bread

    This isn’t the full job, it’s £1400 for us to put the main in the house and reinstate everything, then the plumber has about half a day running the copper in from the alkathene, then the joiner has got some boxing in and the floor to repair, the bill is over 4 grand, moral of the story is, never ring a plumber if your leak is on the main

    Pipe in and backfilled, back tomorrow to concrete inside the house and reinstate the path, can’t do it today because we’ve put 2 days in for this and I’ve just seen the plumbers quote so we’ll be definitely taking 2 days out of it
  9. Stavross
    Back at it today, water main into a house, apparently plumbers don’t dig holes

    Proper butchers pork chops, colcannon and tender stem, it was very nice

    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
  13. 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
  14. Stavross
    Mushroom ragu tonight
  15. Stavross
    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
  16. 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 )
  17. Stavross
    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
  18. Stavross
    Pork loin choppy things tonight with mash and tender stem
  19. 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
  20. Stavross
    For Mrs Stav, chicken with creamed leeks, rice and tender stem for me saag chicken, better than any takeaway
  21. Stavross
    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
  22. Stavross
    Not really, I’m next to Helmsley probably about 30 minutes from Grinkle Park
  23. 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
  24. Stavross
    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
  25. Stavross
    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
