  1. Hi Kev! You are spot on with the location. I reckon we planted them right at the end of the planting season for 2010/2011. We had a very dry summer after we planted and I was pleasantly surprised to see such a good survival rate, especially given the clay soil. Funnily enough, Lisa and I drove past them on our way to the Mercury in Colchester on Friday evening and I was telling her about our discussion on the journey. BTW, you were spot on about the Donkey pub name.
  2. As people may have read in the employment section, I am no longer connected with this site near Ingatestone but I can give contact details for anyone who wants to tip there. I am still looking for clean chip for the charitable trust aerodrome site at Stow Maries if people would be kind enough to help us out there.
  3. All up to Tom's for a bit of pike fishing then.
  4. I can't tell you masses Tom but Shetlands are great boats. If the engine with it is sound, I'd stick with it and buy a smaller one as a back-up. I believe that if you plan to use the engine in salt water, it needs to be 'marinised' to prevent corrosion damage. Nice buy!
  5. I hope so. I need somewhere to drop Geoff off.
  6. After spending the last 2 years as an estate manager (albeit in a very hands-on capacity rather than an office one), a happy coincidence of my becoming increasingly bored with the routine of what I was doing and the upturn in the job market has led me to go back to free-lance groundie work again. I'm based in Maldon, Essex, with my own transport and I am happy to travel reasonable distances. I have all my own kit, PPE and saws etc, and am old enough to get on with the job without checking my phone every 5 minutes. I have a clean pre-97 driving licence and a fair amount of experience of rigging work which I really enjoy. I am just as happy doing planting work, whether trees or hedges. I'm also very good at dealing with difficult customers/ members of the public, as several members on the forum can testify. If you need a hard-working, experienced pair of hands on site, pm me or call me on 07739 556764. Thanks for reading.
  7. I can definitely recommend James Lee Burke as an author. He writes about a character called Dave Robicheaux, a parish police officer just outside New Orleans. I have read all the ones I can find and often go back to re-read them.
  8. Nice.
  9. You should do a double act with Pat Ferret.
  10. Are you moonlighting as a lapdancer now, Ian?
  11. Be worth going to watch, Tim. Might make a few bob from Harry Hill.
  12. Is that a euphemism, you filthy beast?
  13. Looks a bit like Pseudomonas syringea (not sure of spelling) but I don't know if this attacks Hornbeam as well as Ash.
  14. More importantly, Hohner or Lee Oskar?
  15. Have towed a TW125 behind a Kawasaki 300c through woodland with no problems.
  16. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l57mde018sA
  17. Because Eddie Floyd says so.
  18. Wouldn't just be eyes that were sore.
  19. I need 2 just for me, mate.
  20. Dan's a bit on the tall side for one of them, Jon.
  21. I'll pop one on from one of the other ride-ons. No idea of the battery's age. Thanks for the pointers.
  22. Will give it a try when I'm back in on Tuesday. Must admit, I wasn't looking at battery as the culprit as it failed suddenly rather than over time. I found a buggered connecting block at first and repaired that but no success in solving the problem.
