Choille...if you come please tell us.....maybe the wales lot and alfie and i could meet you there?


The thing about the eyes is...they faded before, the light had gone.....now she has bounced back a lot. I mean, the body is weak, but that light is back on and the sneer back in her face....

Banjo - my ole dog looked at me & I knew he wanted away - he was pleading, but he'd had another stroke, a massive one & all he could move was his eyes. He was a cracker & I hope to get another .....one day.

Bristol would be as well being the Moon at the moment, but one never knows.

I was behind a woman buying £66 of scratch cards on Monday - SIXTY SIX POUNDS......It's a strange world.

I'm going to approach the Art's Council for funding - well everyone else does that sorta thing...........so we may have a date all you lot away down yonder.


Rhiwfield - meant to ask where do you buy your bubble plastic from? That's a really good buy. I've scrounged everywhere here dry of the stuff.

I pick up ( for free ) flower buckets in Morrisson's supermarket - they're great for delicate vases & the like.

I'm not tight fisted, just like to re-cycle...................

When abouts? We have builders in soon and are losing the spare bedroom, but if its still here you can use that (good train line to brizzle from here)

The launch is 26th July in Blackwells's in Bristol.

CTC.... with my experience of geese they only lay spring time. BUT if you kept taking the eggs away [which we dont do...] they would/might lay longer. thats why goose eggs are expensive !!
you do need a fair bit of ground for them as they !flatten" it wintertime thus no grass by spring. recomend two areas for them. they will mow a large green area beautifully.... and sh*t equally well !! SPACE SPACE SPACE is all i can say.

Davesnave.. we paid for the van yesturday:eek: it was def the wrong timme to go.. rent, vat, bills etc... BUT.... we have had the van 4 years, ( she is a 54 plate) and flip has she been used and abused.... a total cart horse of a van.... we also have another Iveco long wheel base van too, we had only just put a new mot on her, plus the tax is due in a few days:o, we just thought better the devil you know, as we could have bought another van and have loads of things go wrong with it...

Alfie.... thanks, so my little brood at mo are brill, so flipping funny....one or two of them are just starting to hiss and honk:D especially when the cat sits in the run..


LIR we have loads of hazelnut/cob trees in our place, ( and loads of blooody squireels too) I could take a pic when they have their nuts for you to see, and i could see if we could dig one up. I presume the best time for that would be winter?

Def up for a meet up in Bristol... depending on the date..:T

Davesnave

We have 3 chicks this morning! :beer: Two eggs left, but I doubt if we'll get 80 or 100% success.

What to call them? Austrasummers? Welstrolorps? Bet they're all c0ckerels. :rotfl: We miss Ozzie's crow, but that's all; the hens are much calmer and the hen house smells a lot better too!

I'm seriously thinking geese for a couple of our areas, longer term. Not too bothered about making money from them, as I doubt we would, but cutting down on mowing seems worthwhile. It's the initial investment in the higher fencing which is stopping us ATM.

Height not so much the issue, they will wriggle underneath anything the can i find. Ours have flown a couple of times, but barely, and only in high dudgeon. Most of thke time they hate to even step over something.
