    When I say paddle it could indeed have been hazel. The middle hole had the piece of string or wire attached to the spring which was then trapped in the hole by the paddle. The other two wires went in a small grove inside the barrel.When Moley pushed the paddle to get passed the middle string was released and he snared with one the other wires.

    Here we go again. VHD2 in this country. If this gets a hold we won't be needing ferrets and dogs.?

    I guess the pond is not that big and therefore the number of guns is a deciding factor. Thing is with duck shooting, it's either early or late which means that the light is poor. What you don't want is each gun having a go at the same bird. The birds will always drop into the pond against the wind but normally will circle a few times to make sure they are safe to return to their roost. Another thing is night vision. You will hear all the talk of needing a bright moonlit night to shoot but in reality that is wrong. Cloud is definitely required to see incoming duck. As regards feeding, always fe

    That's all well and good but no one would know how they worked without the wooden paddles. We used them on the farm for years.

    Decided not to bother with swede and kale. Seems I'm the only one who eats so we'll get them from the supermarket. Must admit that generally, everything is going to plan and now we've started to eat the produce life is good. Jok.

    All the top 2 rows I've taken up. No point in flogging a dead horse. Bought 40 Red Baron plants and in they went. QUESTION? All, and I mean all of my onion sets put in the frame thing you see in the pics have gone to seed. I've never had that happen in a long lifetime. Not the end of the world though. Pull them up and set something else. Just put in another 40 leek plants. They are great with the faggots. Jok.

    Just made a triple which should accommodate 5 if not more ferrets. Still kept the weight down as well. Jok.

    You lot are making me smile like fck. The other night, 2 mates helped me remove one of my fence panels to let me into the paddock, where, hopefully ,we'd shoot the red stink inking thing that took all my chickens. AGAIN. On my way across to see the next land owner I came across the electric fence. Well truth be told, and there's 2 guys on this forum to confirm it, I held on to the Fcking thing and it chucked me a good couple of feet up the field. The twat had it on mains. Geeze don't that give you a buzz.

    First pic is the Kelsie onions. I' m afraid, as proper gardeners will see, I have the dreaded curly moth. Top 2 rows are fckd. However, I had a cunning plan, and they look a lot better. Spuds looking good and in fact probably ready to lift. First earlies and cabbage with a bit of beef. Mm. Runner beans up the sticks, outdoor tomatoes surviving, squash and courgette as always going grand. Leeks in. 3 different lots so we'll see what happens. Having a little go with celery. Parsnips, if the Roots went down are looking VERY good. Beetroot good. In the cage, mange tout, onions, courgette and some

    Well guys. Jim Chick from Wiltshire has come up trumps. He's also going to be doing reconditioned boxes and sounds like making collars. What a find. Good on yer Jim.

    Things are looking good. At the moment I am relatively weed free but only because I've had the time. Now work is getting busy things might change. I am pleased however. Jok.

    Rebel. Don't know the recipe my friend. When we were on the farm and living in the dark ages, any form of income was good. The school I was in offered 1/6d per pound of rose hips. My father decided to go for it with my mother and brothers. We had the luxury of cattle feeders in the barns which were altered to be able to keep the hips fresh. Earlstone High School took delivery of 1 tonne of rose hips which meant new bedside lights, downies and a few other luxuries. The shock on the headmasters face when confronted with such a huge amount will live in my memory forever. Since that day, to my kno

    I guess I'm a right stupid old git , but, I've sat/ laid there and listened to th blackbirds singsong and actually got to wondering what they are actually saying. Even now, writing this, there are 2 going at it hammer and tong. I know when they have eggs ready for hatching they talk all the time. When they hatch they both murmur encouragement but not loud enough to let the magpie know. They make that lovely sound when feeding. I would love to know what the rest is all about. Anyone out there done a study?

    Clown wouldn't be doing my kind of work. Takes you back though to the sandstone wheels, with pedals, that were used, in my past, in Scotland, to sharpen the scythes and hoes etc that were used to do a variety of jobs. The blades really didn't need to be that sharp, just effective. Anyone reading this remember singling turnips? No perhaps not but I did it for fckd days on end and believe me it was no fun. Just as an aside, anyone remember picking rose hips for the Delrosa syrup? That was fun. Jok.
