When you’ve got to go you’ve got to go! I bet there isn’t a single one of us who hasn’t done the same when we’ve needed to

Thank you Doug 👍

Chucking it down this morning so postponed our couple of jobs till next week. Bit gutted as had it all planned out with an early finish as it’s my 60th today. Wanted to be home by 4, showered and out for beers by 6.30 and a decent Thai. Now I have to find excuses not to sit down sorting the accounts and other admin 🤣

F..k! Bet that smarted a tad 🤮

My local dealer tried to sell me a 4stroke Honda hedge cutter- can’t remember the model. Felt very heavy and cumbersome. Bought an Echo HCH185ES instead for less money and so far very happy with it 👍

Henchman or similar tripod with all three legs adjustable. 8ft goes up to 9 1/2ft and covers most of our domestic work. But I have 6ft and 14ft as well. Toying with 16ft but not sure I can justify for once or twice a year

Wow - good crop! hoping to make some more jam in the next day or two, preserve a few, then in a week it’s the next tree will be fully ripe. Not quite sure what to make from this lot ?

Clarity On Hedges That are both Deciduous & Evergreen

Not everyone can do it themselves - that’s why lots of us make this our jobs 👍 -
Just a slotted spoon in one hand and teaspoon in the other- yes it seems never ending but made more bearable with a nice cold beer on the go 🍺

This 100% Its what they’re designed for 👍 -
I’ve got two Damson trees, different varieties as one is always about two weeks later so I can spread out the picking.
-
A bit of both - always have toast and marmalade/jam for breakfast but give lots away to neighbours, friends and some of my favourite customers. Seems to be well received and get swaps with some veg, fruit etc Fig chutney goes down well at my local pub on cheese night. The Bramley apples are numerous this year if not as big as usual due to the lack of rain. Apple pies and crumble will be going in the freezer soon as well.
-
The annual damson jam making has started for me this evening - reckon I’ll have four or five batches this year, perhaps 60-70 jars. Many years ago I’d have been down the pub/club on a Friday night - now look at me - making jam 🤣

What an absolute load of b*****ks! Just showing the AA up to be a joke 🤣

I have no problem accepting PayPal- friends and family only mind. Just transfer straight to bank. I even state this as a payment option but it’s very rarely taken up. I used to use it on eBay all the time and have done on gumtree when items needed to be posted out 👍
