silky fox

Just left York Jon.....next stop Darlington...the birthplace of the Railway!

Somewhere between there...and here!.............

It's got Kickback Jon:D:D:D

Bad news, there may be further delays due to engineering works...good news, the buffet car will be serving alcohol all the way to Newcastle! I love the Random-ness of the night train....hic!:beer:

In the Zone!:cool:

Bottle of Dog....

Goodbye pigeons......hello Northumberland.....transforming into a Northerner as we speak!

It happens quite often....anyhoo I've escaped the concrete jungle and am heading North to England!!!

I'll be there:)...in the meantime....someone has jumped in front of a train so all trains out of King'sCross are delayed...luckily I have a bottle of magic potion to pass the time:rolleyes:

I know EXACTLY what you mean...

Thanks Alex and Yaffle!...and thanks to my climbing buddy for the lift to the station :thumbup:

Finally, I am on holiday for several days! I will travel up to Durham to be with my family. And of course, the christening of my Grandson Oscar...when I return I will be thinking about my next move...I have made enquires regarding teaching and arboricultural assesing with a couple of colleges which would still give me a couple of days a week free to be a travelling arborist once again! and so to this last week? We had a day without the crew leader and lead climberso I was in charge for the day...the youngest member of the team is rarely given the opportunity to climb and because of this often is just used for dragging and chipping and then raking...I have noticed that he is losing confidence and this leads tension between other members of the team......so....today was all about him.letsgo and find a nice Oak tree, climb it together...look at his tequnique and answer any questions he might have....it was a great afternoon and I feel he progressed a lot....we have to encouragetbe younger lads in tree work...not just use them for tbe stuff others might not like doing...they are the future...

A flail train is a very good idea Treequip!

SILKY WORK - YouTube I should like to visit your training centre this summer!...In th meantime here is a short video of why I LOVE the Sawpod.Watch in HD. In Small trees with tight spaces the Sawpod comes into it,s own...I can drill away at little Lime crown lifts always knowing I can get to my Silky fast and return it to the pod effortlessly! I did 18 small Limes all in a row,one after another never needed to look where my saw was as it is permanently attatched to my leg! Thanks Mr and Mrs Darbyshire for making my job so much easier!!!:thumbup: see you soon:001_smile:

The rain in spain

Kind words....I love it:thumbup:

Me too Dexta!....great minds think alike:thumbup:

Thanks Guss....that means a lot to me....I was adopted and never knew my Birth mum or Dad so My Son and Grandson are my legacy!

Me too mick:D

My friends built this one....it is a very cosy abode and burns logs provided by me....as do most of the boats....off home now...4 working days to go then I'm on holiday for a week....I have my grandson's christening and some quality time with my Son and family.....in ENGLAND! (The North East!):thumbup:

This is for Dexta who was wondering about house prices in Kew...........
