  1. I find leather working soul-destroying and incredibly satisfying in equal measure. I am in the middle of making a wrist protector for archery at the moment. It was going great, then I tried something new using a stencil, that's when it went south. Back to the drawing board
  2. The cider and eater orchards are looking really good, the pears and plums too so hopefully we won't get a late frost and lose nearly everything like last year. All the fruit bushes are looking fairly promising, particularly the blueberries and currants. Fingers crossed now for a bountiful summer.
  3. We bought our smallholding with the intention of cutting back on our work and living a simpler healthier life. As all good intentions they've only been sort of achieved, and generally the place seems more of a bind. Well the last five weeks have really given us the impetus to crack on and start doing things while we can. Looking around me now I can't believe how much we have achieved, the place is tidy, the hedges are cut back, the stock fencing is in tact. The raised beds are all deep dig and rotavated, the green house is full of seedlings and in it goes. Polytunnel needs finishing in th
  4. As they have been through the postal service we don't generally expect as good a hatch rate as if they were our own or picked up by us. Still I would be hoping for minimum of 70%. I'm hoping to hatch a couple of dozen guinea fowl this year too, we won't be doing pure meat birds this year as I expect a very wet winter again , that's no good for heavy fowl with short legs because of the mud.
  5. Because we had nearly fifteen years of liberalism forced down our throats.
  6. Top bananas, please thank the good lady. ?
  7. Decided it was time to get some new blood in the flock again so looked on the bay to see what's about. Jeez! Five times the usual price of hatching eggs. Wish I had not lost my temper with two of the cockerels back in the winter now. Anyway, I had to lump it so bought two and a half dozen (Plymouth barred rock, copper Black marans, Cornish game and cream legbars). Might do a second hatch after these to bring on to pol,s and recoup my outlay.
  8. Got a good recipe for that Bakewell? I soooo love Bakewell tart.
  9. We are now into full egg glut. Selling lots of duck and goose eggs, we are mainly keeping the chicken eggs for our own use. However I still had a couple of dozen from early last week so made the first jar of pickled eggs. This weekend I start on the rhubarb chutney.
  10. Not yet, but seeing plenty of Queens around.
  11. How are you doing your heat treatment now? Like the wood scales on that one.
  12. That's brilliant. Fair play. Obviously as long as your prepared for the fact that one day it will probably be ploughed in or whatever, why not make use while you can. Obviously just don't get too attached to it ?
  13. I've used two solely for work for about seven years now, both in .177, I cannot fault them, thousands and thousands of trouble free shots. No mag problems. Only gripe I had which I was talking to BSA about them was the rediculous little [BANNED TEXT] screw that was supposed to take the weight of the gun on the foreward sling swivel. It gave way in the middle of the new night in the middle of a very sheety dairy cow yard, it along with £1200 worth of NV hit the concrete really hard. Thankfully other than the sh1t nothing was too badly damaged. Awesome bits of kit.
  14. Class never goes out of style ?
  15. £1.16 for diesel in Bodmin yesterday.
  16. Quantum you have to allow up to 21 days for ccc! I'm looking for an alternative this year.
  17. Sorry if you have seen this on another forum. After many happy years of using ultra se,s for day and night work I've decided it's time to get something small and light but with a higher shot count. Long story short I decided to try a kral np02, as usual for work it had to be in .177 Immediately giving me nearer 180+ shots per fill as opposed to 40 with the ultras. Another bonus was the 14 shot mag as opposed to 10 with BSA. A good mate of mine already owns one and suggested types of pellets that it likes. Although as he'd mentioned it's not fussy what you feed it. I really
