I picked some a couple of days ago, and yes, I though aniseed, but the ones collect today seem just mushroomy. Im struggling to call them Horse mushrooms because of the short, very fat stem

Looking in my books, I can't find the name of this Mushroom. Here (Kent Surrey borders) I have found two quite separate groups, they smell good and look right but I want to confirm edibility. Definitely not asking anyone to confirm their edibility, just give me the name to look up if you have any ideas. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your replies everyone, both probably over 100 yrs old and something else perhaps on the agenda, (I couldn't read the correspondence, because I didn't have my glasses) I will post if I find out more, but in the ,meantime useful reassurance for the landowner.

Need some advice with forwarding trailer hydraulics

Does it not work on the LH pair of connections, there are some other connections to the right, is one of these a free flow return? -
I have been shown a letter today which includes the following text.... As you may be aware damage caused by tree roots constitutes a nuisance in law and action can be taken not only to recover the costs associated with investigating and repairing damage already caused, but also to enforce vegetation management and/or recover costs and damages that may be incurred if that nuisance is not abated. i.e. steps are not taken to prevent the vegetation from continuing to cause damage to the Policyholder's property. The landowner (not me,) has been asked to remove an oak tree, which is fair enough if it is actually causing a problem, but who's liability is it? who would usually bear the cost. The above seems a bit strong considering this is the first salvo from next door, and it is indicated that "engineers will be investigating the cause of the subsidence" As an aside, if you remove a large tree, to you not get the opposite effect, i.e. heave

Thanks Jon, well remembered and quite a bit missed really. Ed has the mill out now and then and is keeping himself busy. We are all good (better when the last five have lambed) hope you are too. Rod

Im not really sure why it works. We all know that Pop is like a sponge, but perhaps it doesn't soak up so much water, or if it dries out so well that the green slime or lichen can't grow .. .. I just don't know, but my teak garden bench has lichen and I feel sure that treated batten from the builders merchant would be green (and have knots with resin) as you point out on a sealed timber it takes an age for any included moisture to evaporate

I replaced the slats on my mothers garden bench with poplar sawn by (the late) Charlie Willment. He said at the time that I should do it with larch, but mother had insisted that it should be poplar because that is what my grandfather had told her (which would have been 40 years since at least) because it drys the fastest of all woods. I can honestly say that she was probably right, it appears dry and sittable when most other things are still damp.

the only things that are certain :-- death and taxes

Firewood, woodworm worry.

Even better, keep a few damp logs for the beetle to lay the eggs in.... then pop it in the fire -
Must be old age, but I was thinking scissors

Whats a wok Something you throw at a wabbit

I can't remember whether there was a back plate on the hub, otherwise it would probably be easier to replace the stub axles @openspaceman

Can you get a treadmill for people doing the 100m hurdles, then there would be something for the logs to jump over.

Is this the slippery slope they talk about?

Just so you know what to expect

Reminder for any dyslexics this weekend

Glad to say it wasn't my saw! I was borrowing it to deal with some large trunks and yes the chain was "slipping" so I fitted a new bar and chain, and obviously a sproket.

Just for you Ratman, this was her getting the oils checked before going off to move some beech. Five years, hard to believe I am still next to useless with the crane. @openspaceman

Is this one past its best?

Western Red Cedar is awesome, smells wonderful

No, it goes like that if you eat too much beetroot

I can confirm that the steering wheel is a novel shape, and it makes me wince just to think how it got like that. Happy Christmas @openspaceman , thanks as always, she is in good shape and a joy to have around.
