  1. Article in last weeks shooting times about mongrels as workers. Quite interesting. Cheers Aled
  2. My working dog is a proper mongrel an accidental mating between a Labrador and a NZ Huntaway, cost me £200, he wont win a field trial championship but he's a good rough shooting companion and we go wildfowling.
  3. Just wish there were a few rabbits here to harvest, i've got a slow cooker and i have only been able to cook rabbit in it once. Looks lovely.
  4. Let me get this right, you just caught 103 rabbits in one session.....that's more rabbits than i have seen in the last 8 years! I get excited if i see 3 in the same field these days. Well done.
  5. Battersea Dogs home, Cocker Spaniel Rescue, and Black Retriever Cross do rehome to gundog working homes, i think some others do as well but not sure which, RSPCA & Blue cross do not rehome to gundog working homes. As an aside there is a 2 year old cocker spaniel cross looking for a home on the Black Retriever Cross facebook page, a working home is suggested for it. Cheers Aled
  6. I strung last years Onions up, and they lasted 9 months. So i can vouch that it works.

    Magazines

    Trout & Salmon & The Field magazine at our local newsagents, it also doubles as our Post Office. I'd be disappointed if it closed, so i make a pointing of buying them there to support them.
  8. Self caught or bought fish green lurchers? Look lovely either way. Cheers Aled
  9. Totally agree white van man, he's also a lovely people dog, he loves all the neighbours and they all know and like him, which is nice.
  10. I've really enjoyed the stamp of some of the dogs on here, some lovely crosses, this is my mad mongrel Celt he's not strictly a bushing dog in the traditional sense, but he's a good rough shooting companion. This year was meant to be his first wildfowling season, sadly Covid has limited this. He's a Labrador crossed with a New Zealand Huntaway.
  11. First of my home grown spuds, eaten with butter and salt!
  12. Blimey guys, how do you keep those weeds down, you must do a serious amount of weeding!
  13. I've got some crops doing well, potatoes, beetroot, and carrots looking promising. Peppers seem slow, no flowers yet. Cheers Aled
  14. Lost my French Beans due to Frost, i've got a few more growing in pots which i will put out once i know the cold spell is properly over! Everything else looks like it may make it! Cheers. Aled
  15. Planted Potatoes, Beetroot, Shallots, Radishes, Spring Onions, Carrots, Spinach, and Sweetcorn in the veg patch. I've got tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers to go in the plastic growing house, hoping to do that Sunday. Cheers Aled
  16. Dug and manured the veg patch, i've tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, beans, sweetcorn, and lettuce seeds all in pots, Bank Holidays on the way so more to do next week. Cheers. Aled
  17. Not quite as many as you, but i've got a dozen or so seeds in pots on the windowsill, which will be transferred out to the growing house later in the spring.
  18. Darren, the same here in West Wales mate. There used to be a load of ferreters here locally, now i only know 1 whose still hunting. Last summer i saw 3 rabbits in the same field near where i live, i thought "great we are with a chance of seeing them back", since then i've seen 1. Saw more rabbits around the sports fields, and indeed on a roundabout island when i lived in Cardiff than seeing any here, sadly. Cheers Aled
  19. Fully planted, beetroot, parsnips, carrots, shallots, potatoes, and French Beans all in. Tomatoes, Cucumber, and lettuce in the plastic houses outside! Cheers Aled
  20. Seems to be fewer around this year than usuall. Saw only 12 on our yearly rough shoot. We have seen 40 before now on the same ground. The warmer winter perhaps? Cheers Aled
