    Sacked the drain off because tree roots have got into the clay pipe so 25’ needs replacing, they are getting a floor saw because the concrete is between 6” and 8” in front of the door, said he’d ring me, I might block his number ? back to another sleeper wall before it’s filled in and covered with a patio and fake grass ?

    It’s secured with fence posts on the corners and joints, then I use 150mm and 200mm decking screws to fasten it all together from the inside so you can’t see anything ?

    Drainage problem on the farm today, 70 years of cow sh*t and to top it off, there hasn’t been any mention of cash payment ??

    First light, early April, no one about, just me and the deer

    Although I’ve got loads of photos of things I’ve shot my favourites are always with people having a good time and the memory of spending that time with them little Hugo’s first proper evening out rabbit shooting and then a call for a fox Hugo working harder than the spaniels up at the shoot with my mate Rob The missus up at the shoot with me, she normally comes to feed once a year, remembers she hates the countryside and doesn’t come until the next season few lads from the shoot, enjoying the day, sadly the lad on the left took his own life not long after this photo

    I like this one, not much to it, but it was the day after the last day of the season, it was almost like a victory flight, he’d made it

    I’ll let him know you were impressed by them ?

    Could be a good thread this ( don’t call each other names ?) I’ve got hundreds of photos, a lot of them not very good but there’s always a really good memory or story behind them ? top one, young lads from the shoot, they’ve all left school now and 3 of them are members now middle one, me and Mosh, bolting foxes to the shotguns bottom one, me and Mosh out with Dasher, I think it was the late 90’s, anyway it was a long time ago because Mosh looks about 12 and he’s in his mid 50’s now ?

    I don’t know where to start with it, last season was the first full season where I was in charge of it all and it turned out to be the best season they have ever had, more by luck than good judgement I think ( even managed to give a couple of lads off here a day ) so now the members have decided that I will run it, probably the worst year you could be given the job, the prices of everything is crazy, my birds are meant to be here next week but I’ve heard nothing from the lad and the last time I spoke to him he said 3rd week in August and we can only have 500 instead of 800, he said 500 becaus

    They pretty much let anyone do dury service, as long as conviction’s are spent and you haven’t done a big stretch or something grim, when I was a young’un my arrest record was nuts, filling out my SGC and FAC took ages ? but they took it for what it was and I was granted both, I’ve done jury service twice and been forman of the jury both times, last time I managed to convince 7 others to find a young lad not guilty who was looking at at least a 5 stretch and definitely didn’t deserve to go to jail, it’s a good feeling standing up in court and delivering a not guilty verdict when you know it’s

    Patio and raised bed finished, told them 6 days, customer over the moon did it in 3 1/2, even put their gate arch back up for them, another new skill learned ?

    Even though it was raining yesterday evening me and longshanx had a trip up to my mates farm,because we are hardcore ? firstly on the lookout for a buck and secondly to get a few things for the longone’s mate to feed to his dogs as they are on a full raw diet ( not even undressed) anyway after a wander about we never seen a buck so concentrated on the dog food, walking past the game cover that my mate has put in ( they don’t put anything down on the farm ) there was loads of wildie partridges so fingers crossed I’ll get my invite to the family day ? we managed to dodge the rain for a bit longe

    I think this thread has ran it’s course now and gone off track a fair bit, I’ve been more than guilty of that myself, I start back up at the shoot next week proper ( ? the birds turn up) so I think I’ll start a new thread for the upcoming season and keep it all things “ keepering” and try and keep you all convinced that I know what I’m doing ?

    Great to see you back on, you have came back at a turbulent time ? there’s been a lot of nonsense over the past couple of days ( I’ve been keeping out of it ?) hopefully it’s settled down now, anyway, hope you are keeping well and enjoying a steadier pace of life ? ATB Stav

    Lemon baked haddock with homemade chips ?
  19. Stavross
    I used it out of politeness because the bloke got it thinking it would help, you had to get off it to tip it and it kept cutting out because it thought it was going to tip over, as soon as he went out I sacked it off for the barrow

    He’s further north than me, by cheap he means as close to free as you can get ?

    If anyone asks if you want to use one of these saying “ it will save you time “ tell them to keep it, what a bit of sh*t, give me a wheelbarrow any day ?
  22. Stavross
    Type 1 in and whacked down, it’s just started to rain ??
  23. Stavross
    Another week another patio, trying to get it dug out and stoned up before the rain comes ?
  24. Stavross
    Treat yourself, you deserve it ( I’m not sure if that’s true but get it anyway) ?
