  2. Two Farmers discussing connections to schools via webcam and similar Farmer A …..”Kind of sad that what has been reality now requires AI ( not the gloved one) and the internet/virtual reality in order for children to interact or learn with livestock.” ………………”When happiness is achieved solely by the use of an electronic device is the start of the decline of humanity.” Farmer B…..”According to the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts....... Dr. Granville invented the vibrator in the early 1880s”
  3. I have planted five rows of carrots and not a single one has come up, so how would I know. And why are you picking on me?
  4. Im a bit disappointed with the carrots sown a few weeks ago, none have come up so re-drilled today. When I looked at the packet to see if the seed was too old, turns out they are not due to germinate till next

    Hoopers Farm

    We are happy to pay a bit for Chips that we can use as cattle bedding, no thorn, yew, rhodie, laurel or anything else we know is toxic. Cord/Rings can be tipped for free. Tipping is on concrete, but always call first else there may be a bunch of cows in the way.
  6. or you could just audition for a bit part in the next Clarkson, see if you can actually get it stuck
  7. There has been a slight to-do in our pub, as the rules of the pumpkin comp were that entrants had to purchase the seedling, however, things went wrong when the first load of seedlings snuffed it, and the second lot purchased from a garden centre as "Atlantic Giant" threw a crop of "various". Much more exciting than other years.
  8. could be a poor year for sloe gin. Bother
  9. Sloes on one area of blackthorn are affected. Anyone seen this before, or know what would cause it?
  10. There was a time in history when, if you went across to France and stocked up on Lager, and invested the same amount of money in Marconi , by the time you had finished drinking the lager, the empty cans were wot more than the shares.
  11. Drop in if you are passing, will be great to catch up. I have announced my retirement, but it doesn't seem to have made the blindest bit of difference
  12. Gum Tree met with a resounding "Yes of course it is" thanks Andrew We are still here, just converting the last little shed for AirB&B, hope everything is good with you.
  13. This whole thread came about because a friend. who works in a fabric shop, asked me what tree I thought was depicted on a fabric that she and Mrs D were conspiring to furnish our little cottage with. And today the went to look at the gardens at Heaver, hence the above. Below is a picture of the fabric, so I would also like your suggestions for this, but I appreciate it is probably a stylised representation, but of what?
  14. And indeed the doubly serrated leaves
  15. That might help!
  16. The leaves are about three to four times the size of our SB, and are much more sparse on the branch. Specimen on first post is in Heaver Castle Garden, so possibly a bit ornamental, I will look up white Beech
  17. I would be grateful for any input on this tree
  18. How much for this beauty?
  19. How much are they trading for? Thats the IBC complete, not the spare roofs
  20. Sign in a pub Gents. We aim to please, could you aim too, please. Yesterday (thread warning tangent) blackboard outside the pub obviously welcoming everyone back. But on the reverse, presumably un-noticed, it said "Ladies, only two at a time please" Lightweight Lothario?
  21. Hi Jon Older obviously and coming towards the end of lambing, so sleep deprived/brainless and with a lockdown beard. Id post a picture but I don't want to scare the children. Apart from that, brilliant! Do call in if you are passing, regulations permitting! Rod
  22. Then when you give a lively answer about your travels "where ya dust bin" Then when you give an implausible answer "where ya wheely bin"
  23. The wood burned should be sustainably sourced, and within the spec of the manufacturer of the boiler. The installation would have been signed off as eligible for RHI. So it doesn't sound like they are claiming/bothered about a potential audit
  24. I came across some a couple of days ago, in a stack of bricks IMG_3811.m4v
