:eek: Gordon Bennett! I find chicken bones and what I think was a cow's shinbone but no human remains as yet.
Keep turning up Early Neolithic flint tools. Bloke at the Museum reckons they were known to be farmsteading up there, back in day. Think what is now the city centre with the river snaking through it was prolly a marsh.
Err, whatever do you do with a human jawbone? Contact a church for a proper internment?
Call the police :cool: Who send out forensics... and if you're lucky, they decide to call the archeologistsIf you're not, your garden or allotment gets turned into a crime scene... (I bet the builders found a few remains and quietly ignored them...)

Does that mean you could get your garden dug over for you?

Morning all
What a beautiful day are you sure its a bank hoiday???
Greenbee I'm liking the idea of the polis doing the digging for you lol..I'm old enough to remember that Porridge episode too.
Why are my Romas and the more pampered tomatoes doing so well and the tigerella and tough as old boots varieties sat there sulking? There's no rhyme or reason to this gardening lark is there?
Cukes are safely potted up even though OH tried to help (!)
Off to get the peppers done..I think I may have overdone it a bit with the seeds!!
Have a great day all XX0 -
I would def go through the motions with police, time team type people lol..just incase
we are consentrating on getting trees cut down and cut up, to start a good woodpile going.. we were lucky in one way it was mild this winter, and we only lit the fire for a few hours now and again to take the dampness out of the air, but even that stretched us, by buying the pressed sawdust blocks from home bargains to top up on our small wood stock..
In the next year or so, we will get that hard winter they keep mentioning... and I don't want to get caught out by not having enough wood, or not being able to afford to buy coal etc..
I just read about that MERS too, just shows how easy it is for viruses etc to spread etc, from one side of the world to another...and this is for humans an animals...
I have got some young male quail, which I am thinking about 'knocking on the head' and prepping them to cook.. hubby has done a cockerel once.. but I have never feathered, and cleaned out anything... got to start somewhere I suppose ...Work to live= not live to work0 -
My keeping up with the Jones's neighbour has been titivating her frontage and has put her awful concrete 'moon grazing hare' by the front door. She says it's supposed to bring good luck. Me I think it belongs more in a satanic ritual. :eek:
However this woman annoys me just by existing and I can tell when she's not happy as she walks past like she has a broom stuck up her behind - as a friend of mine would say but in rather more colourful terms...
But maybe it's me not her which is why I need to go live in the middle of nowhere as far away as possible from normal civilised people.
I'm almost done with titivating my own bits and can feel a call to an estate agent coming on. Meanwhile looking online for something suitably remote. Something for around 50 squid would be nice...0 -
Pineapple.. your post could have been me writing it...
sadly the remote places for 50 squid.. do not exist in this country, I know I looked.lol...
we had to compromise ... footpath running right though our land, right infront of the house... the house needs oodles of work... and the land too...
Wish I could find/afford a place where I could totally get out of the rat race...Work to live= not live to work0 -
maybe we could all pool our resources and start a communal farm
housing wouldn't be a problem because farms get special planning permission for farmworkers cottages/houses/bungalows.Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

I'm so lucky because I am out of the rat race. I'm in a village of 2 doz houses just off a main A road but in the middle of emptyness and have hills all around me. I hope I can stay here until I'm 90 and keep my good neighbours... I have in the distant past lived in multi-storey flats and huge estates next to ex-prisoners so I do appreciate this.
I wish I'd found prepping when I was a lot younger and fitter though, it's to late to start digging up the grass and making raised beds etc, we haven't the ooomph or will to do it now. And my house is on a hill so at the lower side you can walk upright in the foundations, would be ideal for a nice dry cosy bunk - erm hideyhole.0
