hi i have been to marks hall what a lovely place.

Hi there i was watching tv the other night and they said in Somerset there is an apple called slack my girdle. David

Hope you have had a rest this weekend. I got called out Sunday night had a huge bough fall in the wind and blocked the back drive.

Well i have a hedge to plant not much wood going out but plenty coming in for next year. will have a chat sometime when you get a break from being busy. I had a big oak come down last weekend in the wind that was nice work.

Hi Joe how are you keeping. What are you up to?

What a good picture of the wood anenomnes. In all of my woods i only have one plant. But i have lots of early purple orchids. Sounds like you had a good day

Hello Dan how are things not seen you on here much. Hows work? keeping busy? Are you going to any shows or seminars this year? David

Hi Ben. I always do my planting before christmas i have never done them as late as this. You will have to let me know how they take and what % you have to beat up next year. Just finished my new ride moving on to next job tomoz

What do you do with the large poplar trunks Ben? I have a lot of them but don't really know what to do with them LOL

Nice bit of Elm Ben. I had a huge Ash pollard with a big goblet come down last week and i have got the trunk sitting in a meadow waiting to be milled up well if i get time LOL

Hi tom what sort of splitter is it in your video it seems very good.

Where abouts in Norfolk are you Rupert?

Nice job. I am thinking of letting the local school around one of my woods it has two ponds and loads of wild flowers including three types of orchid.

Hi what does a forest school leader do? and where do you do it?

Hi Sean i did see the oak and thorn i have got some the same i will try and find them and get some pics. Yes a visit would be good to be honest when i came to Richmond park i was lost it is far better to have a guide.

Happy new year Ben. When do you start back? with this cold i can't say i am looking forward to it LOL

How are you? Found any nice veteran trees about?

I just saw your face and i thought hello i know that face i have seen it in lots of books and magazines.

Hi ben everytime i hear from you i think your manager and my land agent must have went to the same school LOL. Been clearing around a pond today and the digger came he dug down about 15 feet to clay he said that pond had not been cleaned in 100 years. The agent would not buy me an alaskan saw mill but my bosses wife bought it for me. Not sure what i am doing next i will have to sit in the office and have a think. Hope you and the wife are well?

57 friends hmm i have a bit of catching up to do there LOL.

You live in a nice part of the country now the highest i have been is the lowlands of scotland, i must get to the top one day. I did see a golden eagle flying across a lake in a forest i think it was Gallaway or somthing.
