You're not twanging my heartstrings that easily. If I may offer some recompense you're more than welcome to free materials for your project. BN8 postcode. The bigger rings are only 3x2' 😆

They're pretty epic stumps aren't they - WRC. Much of the timber is in a jumbled heap behind the wall; it's bloody well staying there!

We've got this in the garden. Not a fence, just there and not built by us as we've only been here 7 weeks. I think I'll dribble some used potting compost down a few of the crevices and plant more Sedum, Sempervivum and Saxifrage. Unfortunately it faces north east so doesn't get full on sun but the plants there now seem to be okay

Not sure the physical anchorage would be sufficient Andrew; you'd need to consider planting deep to try and obtain it but as I'm sure you know Rhodys are shallow rooted. Deep planting of them also inhibits flowering. I'd try to work a good amount of chip into the topsoil and be done with that; then a shallow mulch. Jon

@Stubby You're a man with your ear to the ground: I've heard 27th hand (it was on FB apparently!) that a pair of white-tailed eagles were seen here recently, presumably on a day trip from the IoW. Have you had any sightings? You're much closer...
-
One's been seen round here (just north of Lewes) a couple of times recently but not by me! I've only seen one - last year in the Flow Country,a bit up the road from Sussex 😊

They're shockingly gaseous! Wild garlic is a bit too in my experience but not a patch on Artichokes.. The most flatulent foodstuff known to Man. Sophie Grigson advised in one of her shows 'if you're given JA soup at a dinner party eat the main course, bolt the pudding and go home. Let's face it they make you fart'.

Thanks for taking the time and trouble to tell us all this Joe. I find it fascinating as it relates to such a different environment and species set to ours. Keep it coming!

Perhaps I'm showing my age but don't I also remember a series called The Bush Tucker Man? The guy had his life in a large 4WD and spent it driving back and forth across the Top End, always trying to keep ahead of 'the Wet'

You may be right; the crossing wingtips look so... I was guessing from my usual standpoint of at least semi ignorance. But what a corking selection of birds; stunning

The first pic - Blue Robins? Just guessing...

Mum not having help with quads; that's good going.

You're all cheating as 'y' in that context is a vowel! Bah humbug!

Let's keep our feet on the ground with this thread and be a bit mundane for once... 😊 Wednesday was a cracking day mostly; thoroughly enjoyed splitting some copper beech at this location less than 3 miles from Gatwick. Lovely spot to work.

There have been several offences of criminal trespass for many years but confined to very specific circumstances Criminal Law Act 1977 WWW.LEGISLATION.GOV.UK An Act to amend the law of England and Wales with respect to criminal conspiracy; to make new provision in that law, in...

They're called Rent a Mob for ease of quick and easy reference 😁

I agree but only because I've been studying pics of Blackcaps and Marsh Tits recently having seen the latter for the first time. The Blackcap doesn't have that chinstrap; the Marsh Tit does. Unlikely to be a Willow Tit; all but impossible to tell apart from a Marsh but much, much rarer.

True. I don't need to go to those lengths to repeatedly lose mine though; the black scabbard and black saw handle do the trick nicely 🙄

All Gomtaro blades fit a Gomtaro and all Natanoko blades fit a Natanoko. Hope so anyway!

Years ago there was a member on here who was rightly outraged that his parents had had most of their firewood nicked. They were in a remote location. In case of the scums' return he dug a shallow pit covered with a thin layer of sticks twigs, dirt etc and filled it with the contents of numerous LA dog poo bins that he emptied for his own use. Excellent!

There is CCTV everywhere, including in the cells.

I knew a plod whose surname was Pleece.

Sorry, didn't read your attachment.
