Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 My god! Just stepped out for some coal and the nights as Black as coal! There's no sign of any moon or stars. No lights showing from any neighbouring farms. No passing headlights up on the road. I can't see my hand in front of my face, let alone the stables down the bottom of my yard. Face it; I'm in here and mentioning? I must be impressed! We have 0% Light Pollution out here. But this one's a Real N****rs arm pit! How is it with you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Magwitch Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 its pretty clear over here Ditch i can see plenty of stars and can hear the live band from the local social club making a terrible racket Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Jesus, Jay. I visited a less salubrious district of Liverpool once. There was a Blackpoll Warbler on some marsh there? I was running with Lee Evans and we made it to site at around 03:00. Now, being born and brought up in Portsmouth ~ a world class shit hole itself. Paul Weller's " Town Called Malice " ~ I thought I knew Grim. But f*ck me! There was kids (and I mean fourteen year olds) asking us for a lift to some place where they were going to buy a crate of beer to take back to a party?! There were gangs of people just moving in the shadows ..... All in all; It was nice to be in so much male company; And locked inside a reliable motor! I saw Grim that night! Funny how we never did park up and wait for dawn. Screamingly rare bird or not! :whistle: But here? Oh god, man. I could break ye f*ckin heart! I think nothing of looking out my cottage window and seeing a Hare mincing around on the track out there. Badgers sometimes come through my yard and set the Dogs off. I've had a Raven fly right over here; Mobbed by two Hoodies. First of all I thought it was two Collered Doves mobbing a Crow! Then it sunk in that our only crows are Hoodies ....! I've leaned on the gate and watched Three Cuckoo's chasing about over my head. I've often been up till gone dawn. Some of the dawns I've seen too! Jesus! I love it when the mist is dense and white in the hollow across the fields. Just amazing. I have photo's that'd break ye balls, man. And all this to a poor, unqualified kid from a Dockyard Inner City? Who could've dreamed it? Not me, that's for sure. Shit just happened, man. Shit can happen .....

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Go on, show us a picture of your land Break our Balls!! Oh. Okay. You asked for this View to the Front of My Cottage ~ Taken from My Chimney Now, that just gives ye a taste of what I have to put up with looking at, every time I glance out the window or open my front door I'm also free to roam over just about every inch of what ye see there. Taking out what ever I choose. How I choose. And, if I were still into fishing? I can see lakes from here too. Just a stroll across the fields away and there to be tested. Oh, and for you City Boys? Take a look out at that place ye call a 'Back Garden'. Then try to imagine how I feel when, having walked completely round my cottage, I find the time in a day to wonder if maybe my Dogs are occupying themselves, mooching about up here! This, believe it or not, because I never thought to use wide angle, is just a fractional segment of what I Now call ..... My Back Garden My Dogs get up there. I've barely the time nor energy to trapse that far! It goes way back too. They dissapear up there and I have to hollar like hell to call them back down from where ever it is they get to! Un F*cking Real! Finally ~ Though I could go on for ever! Bandwidth, guys ~ Here's just another 'Nice View'. End of September, I stood out by my gate and saw the evening mist rolling in. I figured I could torment someone with a shot of it. But first, just hold this thought: One of my last memories of Portsmouth was walking down the gray, dusty, polluted road one evening. Within yards I walked over a spread out Kebab, there since last night. An empty 'Thunderbird' bottle, laying in a door way. Then a used condom. Right there on the pavement. Where kiddies played. I swore then: I'd get out! I have. Now I see This! Septembers End Evening Mist Stop appreciating it? I am The luckiest man in the World! I Know it! And, when I die? I'll just stay here. This is 'Heaven'. Simply no need for me to go any where else! This has been an Information Post on behalf of the Irish Tourism Board Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bullmastiff 615 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) As normal a top class post!!! that is a stunning area you live in but now tell them all the fun bits about living in such a remote part of the country!!! eg. power cuts every time the wind gets over 10mph, rains to hard or a starling farts on the main box! even when the power does come back on (usually about two days by the time the electric board can be arsed to help), the fun you have when all the bulbs in the house blow from the resulting power surge and you've got a 5 mile hike to buy new ones from the nearest shop (which will probably be closed due to losing business to a supermarket 25 miles away). Cold damp nights in a house that will always leak even if you could afford to pay stupid rates to a workmen to leave the main road and fit a new roof! but then again who cares about that when your sat in front of the fire in your favourite chair with a decent whiskey, listening to the rain gently dripping in the bucket behind you, looking out of the whistling window at a view like you've got. After that it all seems worth while!! Your a lucky man Mr S. Edited December 19, 2006 by bullmastiff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Magwitch Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) is that the old thunder box in the distance Ditch in your first picture? nice place :thumbs-up: how far is the nearest neighbour? Edited December 23, 2006 by Magwitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 No, mate. That's just a little shelter for my goats to dive into, in case of summer rains This is my very own, swish Polish desighned dumping ground: Welcome to the Thunderbox! Yep. No posh seating arrangements for me. Just lean against the back wall and Do It! And yes; That is a hole in the ground there. Ditch has a bit of concrete lining at that point. Makes it easier to uck things with a stick! Especially when we haven't had too much rain That was actually my original Avatar too Neighbours? Mile away, mate. I'm set back a mile from the nearest road. Suits me down to the gound! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
