    Went very well. Very nearly didnt get there as met a boy racer head on. He was in a Subaru Impreza and spanking in on the icy roads. No damage to the landy but we ended up parking on his drivers side front corner. Went sideways a few times on the way to pick someone up and on the way to the shoot and back home again. Sometimes deliberate other times not so.

    Pics of the farm shoot and beat at. Today was our last day that my dad and i will be there as we are shooting on the 30th which is their beaters day at another shoot.

    I have a general rule of thumb if it hits them and it hit the Mendips then it hits us.

    Just spoke to my cousins who live near Wivey (Wiveliscombe) but on of the hill above Petton Cross and Skilgate. Its dumping big quantities of snow at the moment. 3 inches in the last hour:scared: and thats heading east quickly. A friend who lives in Montacute has just started to see it and a friend the other side of Ham hill has too. Yeovil had started to see snow again so may be in for another very very white morning.

    Yup that was good old Blanny market place. We're BBC in blandford and Meridian then as saw a camera crew on the Blandford bypass near Tesco this morning but didnt catch what it said on the van.

    Really clear site. Good idea to have subsections drop automatically so you can click on what your looking for. Definately gets the thumbs up from me.

    Yup picking up two people. One from my house as he lives around the corner and 1 from out in the sticks. She has a freelander but it has road tyres on which get stuck at the sight of mud and leaves.

    Cheers. We nearly needed help ourselves but luckily managed to get enough grip up the side of the road where the snowplough had been.

    The pics i got this morning and during the day when out on the shoot. Took us twice as long to get there but was great fun coming home. Towed 4 cars out of hedgerows and 1 up hill. Got money from one of them the other just a simple thanks which is fine by us.

    I shall hopefully get some pictures of a field that was full of large willows which a friend of mine bought. He paid £6,450 for what was originally 6 acres of grass pasture. When he asked Land Regristry he had infact got 60 acres. He just had 6 acres of grass on the slope but another 54 acres of overstood Sallow/Goat willow which was promptly felled and burnt stumps and all. He now has a cracking spot for wading birds, he had the ditches dug and the where the stumps were removed it created scrapes and a few deeper "ponds but they are interlinked via ditchs and pipes. He had the work paid for via grant money from the Wetland restoration trust.

    The schools in town were discussing whether to close earlier as was in the pub where the head teachers were. Not got anything falling yet other than wet snow but that is freezing on the ground. Its snowing heavily in Cornwall and Devon from what i've heard from friends who live on Bodmin and Penzance

    What a cracking sunrise to wake up to. Just what i wanted to see on a crisp Jan morning whilst getting ready for the shoot. Now supping some of Butcombes best bitter.

    Ha ha Arbtalk in its baby days. Seems so so long ago now.

    About 5% of what went down died due to wet weather dieases. Nothing we could have done though. We chose to two "driest" weeks of June and got the birds in quick. Put some massive tarps out for them to shelter under.

    Hundreds have appreared in the woods after this cold spell. We have no idea where they came from. The covercrops are dead. The kale has survived the slug onslaught but the second year stuff hasnt. We are getting through lots of feed but we think thats down to the song/farm birds and the hundreds of pigeons which are flocking.

    Just bumped it to see if any other fellow fung nuts have a clue as to what this is? I had a look this morning on Rogers Mushrooms (both book and interent versions) and couldnt find anything. I even typed soft toothed brackets that host on pine and it came up with the usual suspects but not this one

    Ha ha. I like that "Orange Aid". On the port n sloe gin but not too much. Although i could use the exucse im avoiding the potholes and trying to keep the truck on the straight and narrow.

    Jon. Have you seen the forecast for this weekend? Looks to be a very very white affair all day Friday and most of Sat. Will be fun getting to the shoots and getting home again.

    Cant find anything on Rogers Mushrooms which looks similar. Maybe a rarity?
