Have not caught up, just posting to say the hail has driven us in.


You cannot have one old cart horse...ypu need a second equine of some sort. Then a third one for completness. Personally i find seven a nice number

would "one" BIG one be ok with 6 mini ones and a 1/2 size big one then ????:D:D = 8 :rotfl:

not sure if it was last year or year before , the heavy/working horse centre on the IOW was selling up after the death of the old boy. i wanted to go look but everyone i know [and dont know] thwarted my attempts ??
my friend who has all the land went with me to the dorset steam festival last year and promptly bought a fab shepherds hut on her return . she luuuuvvvved the heavy horses and i think if one had presented itself to us we would have got it !!:D

never say never ......:D

Redundant no, but also....not a clamp.:D

I was trying to picture what you were describing that you wanted to do with soft fruits & muck heaps.
It, obviously, lost me :rotfl:

im trying to buy a shetland saddle, for a kiddie to ride flo or mollie ,on the bay at the mo. difficult but ive checked out rrp's and know when to stop....;)

ive spent all afternoon in the garden. ive cordoned off my garden/planted area from the chooks and reseeded my lawn [id be had up by trades description calling it that at the mo..:eek:]why is it ONE chook can always find a way in ??i kept putting it back and it just reappeared ....:mad: again and again....
all the mixed seeds [nicked/borrowed from gardens] are all coming up no idea whats what but lots of big daisy type things if i can remember..:o ive swept leaves etc, built a huge bonnie now but will light tomorow/monday. ive planted 3 climbing roses. put all the empty pots laying around in ONE place all in all im very pleased, my backs not but i am

The inside of the clamp will be something else, but that in mybhead and not to scale is what i think we need to do.

The tubs....we have four fibre glass troughs, bath size, which we can use there if we want, or plant into the moved muck and soil. I just do not think is a job to start by hand, and yet, might need to stack by hand because of the small outer wall.

Does any of that make sense?

Some one i know invented these

I haven't seen one, but like some treeless saddles and think this one would be a safe one for the pony, better than an illfitting tree'd one. And i like the riding positin they encourage for wee ones.

And it comes in pink!

Yes, thanks. That's much clearer than trying to work out what was happening just from the photos.
If you're shifting tons then it might take forever by hand & you'll be wrecks by the end. As you say, maybe hand shift the first part to make sure it stays behind the little wall.
