No wonder it looks like it’s had more use than mine, it’s older than me

Senility kicked in Stav ,you've " lost" a few birthdays

Just been talking to a farmer this morning Stav and todays price for old crop wheat is £276 and will continue to rise , also red diesel hit £1 a litre.  With poult prices increasing together with wheat prices and fuel I think your syndicate prices must increase , what do  you reckon Stav ?

[Stavross 13,736]

It’s looking that way, my shoot captain does a bit of commodity dealing and he said milling wheat has gone through the roof, oil at around 115 a barrel, his brother ( the farmer) said that’s milling is around 300 a tonne, the way it’s going feed wheat will be around 300 before long, I’ll have to stop the drive pheasant and have ruff shooting and driven squirrel

Whilst out wandering around the farm I have now developed an obsession for picking up used cartridges. I have picked up 6 game bags full so far , very satisfying. Todays find brought back memories of when I did a lot of rabbit shooting with the shotgun , a great hard hitting cartridge.  Anybody else used to use Baikal Record cartridges?

Nothing wrong with driven squirrel, one of my favourite sports
