  1. I used to walk the lanes around belvoir Castle with me grandad when I was just a kid ,he'd walk along and point to the hedge saying pheasant nest and we'd collect half the eggs and he'd take them to the keeper and get payed for it but always left some for her to sit on , I grew up just in lincs but live Rutland now .
  2. I pick them every year if I can for belvoir fruit farm that makes fruit drinks, they have drop off points in Derbyshire, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and buy them for about six weeks each year ,if you put leg work in and pick you earn some good money in six weeks .
  3. Last few days I've been out picking elder flowers ,been earning OK money and as you no it grows all over the place ,picked 90 kilo in last two days at 3 quid a kilo so I'm happy and the dogs are getting plenty of exercise and having good mooch about .

  9. My old whippet x getting on now and started to lose bit of weight but he's still enjoying his walks and eating well and seems happy but if things change I'd never let him suffer even though it'd break my heart to say good by , he's been my shadow for such a long time and probably best dog I've had. Breast of lamb ,beef heart ,beef mince ,tripe and sardines and lamb qnd offal mince his what I feed him mostly and he does well on it ,
  10. Most reptiles and frogs ,toads are shy creatures, adders very shy and just slip away if you disturb them ,we'll most of the time .I'd never seen wild adder until I moved here and now I see them regular. It's a shame the wild places are seeing more and more people, area I live in goes crazy with cyclists and walkers soon as the sun comes out .

  14. Sometimes you can get lucky with older dogs ,me uncul gave me my whippet lurcher when he 18mts ,he was in his 80s when he got him as pup thinking he still had the legs to get out doing bit rabbiting ? think he drove to few spots let dog have a run but that's about it so he gifted him to me and he turned out one best dogs I've had and we got a bond that I never had with any other dog so far ,I be honest Ray he never caught a day time rabbit unless ferreting but he took good number of hares that we kicked up and he had few muntjac ,roe and OK on lamp but his working days over now ,he's happy goi

  17. By looks of the cats owner she'd have shot me if she could ? not herd a old lady come out with language like that since me ol gran was alive .
  18. Luckily I got runners on leads when I see she had beagles on leashes otherwise it be game over for puss . Dred to think what fuss she'd have made ?
  19. I had a run in yesterday with a ol bag on a walk along the local stream , she had 3 beagles and a cat on a faffing lead ,now my lot safe with other dogs but cats are fair game even though I do me best to keep my 3 away from them . anyhow good job I put my lurchers on slips but I didn't get the chance to grab the busher and she made straight for puss ,women dropped its lead and me busher treed it ,anyway by this point lurchers was getting excited so I walked up the path and secured them to gate post qnd walked back to get the busher ,the ol bag was screaming all kinds at me qnd I just aske
