  1. Even later here and absent yesterday,, its been 2 crapy wet windy mornings for us here, this morning was horrendous with about 60mm of rain over night through till lunch time,, hence we been in building cutting n splitting logs and Isla can chew as much as she wants in there at I don't have to clean up after her,,
  2. Not to sure about the rope, but i use methylated spirit on my saws so meths will be fine on the metal items, give me Larch any day over spruce, as with spruce every thing gets covered in the sticky sap/resin gloves, arms, pants and saws,,
  3. Bit late today but here, been out this morning and it's been worst morning for about 3 wk here, done sone heavy rain that was supposed to fade out at 8-9am well acording to met office at 11pm last night it was, piss wet through,,
  4. Glad she is recovering well, but be carefull with her, especially with the ligaments in the other leg,, just make the OH a brew and take yourself and cassie off for the day,,,,
  5. Morning,, dull and warm here this morning going down yard to sort a few things out and make some room, its starting to look like a bomb has gone off in there,, 😂
  6. Morning all, a bit late today, but approx 2,30am we had a large explosion here that was about 4 mile away from me, just found out it was a gas tank that went bang in a fire at a farm, je abd several others thought the Russians where here,,,
  7. Morning, all well this morning, nothing to clean up so far ?? But looking good,, we had rain over night and a lot warmer than yesterday,,,
  8. Morning, cool here but not as cold as where Mr Blair is this morning, but bright n clear here with a nice day ahead of us,
  9. Morning, not a typical morning here, its raining so Isla decides she will shit n piss I the house 😟😐
  10. There is a lot of pups for sale at the moment that people cant get a sale for, as you will know i just bought another black lab pup, ok it wernt cheap but she was what i was looking for, to find a litter of black lab pups that are well bred and from good trialing working lines seems near on impossible ATM, if i had wanted a fox red one, there seems to be 100s of them and they are not selling ? i believe springers are the same and as for other breeds i aint to sure but there seems a massive glut of pups ATM,,
  11. We been out this aft looking at some potential work clearing some windblown, so it's been Isla,s first time out in the woods, I know one thing it wont be one back n decker in kitchen tonight but 2 😂
  12. Morning, a bit of drizzly shit here this morning but at least it's cooled off a bit, was at 27 yesterday and it's 15 this morning, happy days ,,
  13. Morning, clear ATM but due some heavy rain this aft, we are half an hr in to the first bout of the day,,
  14. They sure are having a good time, we been up in the trough of Bowland this aft for a cool off,, we been sat watching Grouse , pheasants, partridge and hen harriers and all this on my door step, last photo Is Purdey with head fully submerged picking stones of the stream bed
  15. Saturday check in, cool morning here then pissed down about 11 ish but gone hot n sticky now, I got purdy the vets dog here again and last night we had a walk along the canal and these 2 had to go in, the pup surprised me just lept in with no fear at all,,
  16. Here , mucked and cleaned isla,s cage out and dare I say it looks like it's about to piss it down here 😐
  17. Here sir, looks like it could be swimming this morning and i forgot my trunks, looks like Isla is thinking of pond diving this morning 🤣
  18. TBH it must be 20yrs since I bought any new fishing rods and they where some shimanno hyperloop barble rods that I used for bream fishing,, my pike rods was all ways the best I could afford as I new they would get plenty of use over the years, tricast I have several and I all so have some Harrisons, a lad who fished with us a bit had some hyperloop Carp rods that where OK a bit heavey may be but your not stood with it in your hand all day ,, i would think you will get a decent set up for £400,,
  19. There is some cheap gear out there today that is far better than what i had when I started in the late 70s, the choice today is far greater than the hand full of manufactures we had for rids n reels, northwestern and conoflex blanks to build in to rods ourselves and reels it was either Mitchell or ABU, TBH I have been looking on market place and there is some cheap but decent gear on there and its same with shooting stuff, people go once or twice with a mate and then spend a small fortune on a full set up then it piss,s down next 3 trips and that is the end of there fishing shooting career, rods you want to be looking at 12ft 2.5 - 3lb TC reels there us so many today like shimanno Abu etc FB market place you will find something nit to far from yourself at good money,,
  20. Here and present in the glorious 🌞🌞
  21. very much so, she made no noise till i crept in to kitchen about half 7 and still curled up asleep but she did have a busy day sunday running around with my grand kids,,,
  22. Up and here but I don't have a choice ATM some one all ways wants feeding and now she out in the glorious sunshine,,
  23. Bentiful place that and it's a while since I was there, used to get on it fishing a fair bit once up on a time, looks great today ,,
  24. Very much so, she is only just 12 wk old and just full of mischief ATM but that's labs for you, she learns quick and she gets about 3 retieves with the small dummy a day and she loves it,, it is very satisfying to own a dog that is eager to learn,,
  25. Morning all,, Not much chance of me being in bed as got this retrieving machine to look after,,
