  1. Our 8 month pup Floyd. He is 20kg (same weight Bramble was before he died). Out for a walk today and cut his pad on a sharp piece of flint.
  2. Same as ours. We were half way through overtaking a lorry then it went into limp home mode. Was rather embaressing when it just died. Turned it off and back on again and had the amber engine light on (instead of limp home[red]) and got back to the yard.
  3. I remember that. My dad and i would watch that with great interest. Mum and sister would be cringing all the time
  4. I was on about the Silver Birch at the end of the selection:thumbup: The others obviously were rotted but not the birch.
  5. Yep going to be reduced at same time. Road one side woods the other. The road is only a local road linking bulbarrow to Ansty.
  6. A very large beech limb that was shed on Thursday. The rest of the tree is going to be braced to prevent the rest of it splitting out. No sign of rot in the tree just a very tight union and not much holding wood.
  7. Shall take an slr with a better zoom as compact was on limit of zoom. Although i am out there this saturday. i shall see if i can knock some out whilst on stop on the track.
  8. Probably in the wrong section but here goes. There was a cracking piece of land adjacent to our flagship site. It had Lesser Butterfly, Common Spotted and Green winged Orchids and vast tracys of Buddliea. This is what is left. Pretty gutting to be honest. Will see what comes up (if anything during the spring and summer).
  9. Here is the latest selection 1-3 - Flammulina velutipes 4-9 - Gymnopilus? on hardwood chip 10-12 - Unknown fungi growing directly underneath Douglas Fir 13-16 - Unknown fungi growing from old wound on very mature beech. 17-19 - Lycoperdon sp? growing on stump.
  10. Hi mate. If you start the thread i have found an ideal webstie with every poisonous plant in the UK and Ireland

  11. Nope. no damage just got a well polished section. Been in there a week so gald its out.
  12. If you hear a grinding sound coming from your brakes after off road driving check your stone guards by removing the wheel. We found this monster in there today.
  13. Always sends shivers down my spine. Saw and heard him live in Majorca a couple of years ago. [ame] [/ame]
  14. Phellinus pomaceus (tuberculosus)? on Hazel
  15. We have a pink one in the store with bossy boots and another one with moody mare. If someone forgets something they have to wear it all day no matter what.
  16. Some of the recent pictures of limbs that have failed. The silver birch at the end failed today as i walked past it. No wind and no sign of rot.
  17. That big lump would make some nice tables or other furniture.
  18. Saw several hispidus related failures on one of the big shoots i go to. Shall get some pictures when i am down that way next.
  19. Tree clearing off the roads and sites. Was good fun with the winds today.
  20. Nope my friend at Knighton Countryside got that job. He said it was an awkward tree to cut up as it was sat on the house but at the same time it wasnt. He couldnt tell if there was tension or compression in the limbs.
  21. Got a call about an ash that was moving i nthe wind. When we arrived the tree was on the deck. Its neighbour had leant onto a small sycamore but we couldnt deal with it as was on private property and was far too windy to cut down.
  22. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fRYDgndw8U&feature=artist]Alexandra Stan - Get Back (ASAP) OFFICIAL VIDEO - YouTube[/ame]
