  1. Tonight was first pork joints. Got some pics before but not after. Did 2, a slow cooked shoulder with skin and fat removed pre-cook for crackling. A roasted shoulder joint with crackling on. They were both amazing. Not just saying it but so much depth in flavour, texture was better, crackling off of both was amazing and I collected the fat for future use, aiming for as little waste as possible 👌.

  2. 7 hatched, moved 5 to brooder, left 2 in incubator to dry out more as only hatched this afternoon. 2 eggs don't think will hatch now.

    7 out of 10 from our first batch of home grown is a better hatch rate than we had from other people eggs so well happy.

  3. Regional tendencies from round here...

    Dont see many garden heaters, other than a burning barrel.

    Everyone is friendly and welcoming, the gate is always open, except for on the back alley they are locked by the council.

    Southerners are shandy drinking shirt lifters.

    Red sky at night, Leeds fans are c**ts.

    Every 'dog lad' thinks a bullX with flat feet from the kennel is a world beater when it smashes next door but ones cat off the wheelie bin top.

    The paki shops have been taken over by Sri Lankans?

    The rabbits that dint have Myxy have the other rabbit aids.

    Every normal man used to scoff at the smack head robbing neat joints from Asda, now the joints are behind plastic screens and chained up because no one can afford them.

    You wait ages for a bus then it doesn't come

    You wait ages for a train and they are on strike

    Cant get a pint for 2quid anymore

    More closed shops than open ones in town centre

    You go to the hospital they are on strike 

    Instead of trying to get a doctors appointment I'm playing lotto again and hoping to afford private heathcare.

    Probably missed a few.

    Oh and.....

    Red sky in the morning, Leeds fans are still c**ts, even though they slept on it.

  4. We have an Indian priminister 

    The mayor of our capital city is a Pakistani Muslim

    The Royal family has apparently protected nonces?

    This is the country my old boy served 27yrs for?

    No thanks mate, call all you want, I won't be coming.

    I will be ensuring I have sufficient arms to protect my own.

    Call the f***ing Muslims instead.

  6. Well today was collection day and I am very happy with the quantity and hopefully quality of produce! I kept ablut 1.25. Had already swapped half a pig for a full lamb before Xmas and gave a decent meat box to neighbour that helped me move em to abbottoir.

    I don't think I will be going to Asda for sausages, bacon or pork joint any time soon!

  7. Honestly though I'm like that. If I don't like someone or a group of people just leave. I don't make excuses I don't try and sneak away, I just get my coat or whatever and go. If I'm asked I say why. Without causing a scene.

    Domt have to get on with everyone in this world and don't have to spend time with anyone you don't get on with.

    Something I have come to realise even more since having little ones is that time is precious. I would rather be sat in a field on my own or walking river bank than sat in local with people I'm not fussed about just because they are regulars.

    I have an extreme small circle of friends. Infact it's probably a triangle, or a line maybe.

    Bubwith? 

      Next time park the trailer in the pen a few days before and feed them in it miss the night feed the day before then they will be very hungry the morning u need them in they will run in very happy , we did the same with lambs save chaceing them around for hours 

    Yeah Bubwith mate, they have been great to be honest, really helpful.

    I would have put trailer in but it ain't mine and I had to destroy pen to get it in.  Its all a learning curve and after this experience I have a better plan for the permenant pig pen.

    Learning as I go mate 👍

  10. Well, the pigs have gone boys. That was emotional, I don't mean tears, I mean f***ing hard work! Heavy/strong animal them when they dint wanna do summat! Buggered off into their bed and wouldn't move so basically ended up dragging the Arc with the two pigs in up the trailer ramp, finally got them in and then flipped Arc back over and shut gates quickly. Must have been a good 40mins to get em in little buggers! Anyway they have been dropped off now at a nice little abbottoir/butcher. Pick the meat up Friday.

    Next job is turn the pig pen into a veg plot.

    How much poly pipe did you use to make the tunnel/run? And how tall is it?

    I had a full coil, but had some left. Can't remember dims, will get some measures when I'm in there. I set scaff poles in postcrete, the poly gives natural curve, then I have supported it down middle with Unistrut because seen a few vids etc where that design has collapsed with snow. Just wanted to be sure.
