Thanks Andy..you were amongst other catalysts to boost my confidence!

Nice one:lol: But don,t give up your day job! I hope your field science is better than your jokes:001_rolleyes:

Today is a Special day and this picture sums up my mood:001_smile: The highlight of my Career was being interviewed by Tony Kirkham for the position of Head Arborist at Kew Gardens...i then hit the top of a Massive Cedar with my throwbag (my son gave me as a present) second shot and completed my test climb without a hiccup. That was a great day....To recieve a letter a week later informing me that although unsuccesful,they were impressed and said that i was the reserve candidate was no consolation(At the time). A few weeks later a friend told me,"Not to worry,something better will come along". At the time i thought how could there possibly be something better? I am now beginning to understand what they meant by what is unfolding. In a few hours i have an interview for a full time position within an Arboricultural Team maintaining Trees in Parks and open spaces only a few miles cycle away...The best bit is..i have been told that this is basically just to meet me,they are prepared to offer me the job based on what they have heared about me from an Arboricultural aquaintance i knew a few years ago! Moral of this tale? NEVER GIVE UP!... IF YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF.....GO FOR IT!!!

Great first post Stumpy! Selling yourself...we like that. Welcome to our world:001_smile:

Every cloud has a silver lining.....but...every silky lining has a Golden lining!!

Patience is a virtue:D

:thumbup::thumbup: its all good! Information to follow!

Yesterday i helped in the Garden clearance job with my friend for the last time..when we arrived it had been left for about 30 years...i removed about 3 medium sized trees and nearly all of the awful shrubs that had grown from the sides of the lawn to almost the centre with just a narrow band of grass which is now clear to breath again...it paid my rent and put food in my fridge:biggrin:

Treepeet...very true words. And i'm seeing the world through different eyes! Marc...thanks mate:) the position is almost tailor made for me:thumbup:

You lot will be the first to know!.....Goodnight:sleep:

Now that,s what i call winblown!..plenty of hangers in wires and lots of unpredictable Tension and compressionwood resting everywhere...thanks for sharing and stay safe Buddy!...P.s liked the little New Yorker in the flat cap offering you advice...
