    Great stuff! Wish the trees in my Wood would grow like that. Can't remember the last dead straight, non-leaning tree I felled.

    Very good of Jon to erect the Mendips Christmas lights this year.

    Last week I spent a couple of minutes yanking on a hazel branch that hung itself up in an Oak. I walked away admitting defeat, only to turn around to see my apprentice sprint towards it and dive (superman style) into the offending stick. He successfully freed the hazel but the landing was somewhat less impressive than the dive. He came down on a freshly cut hazel stool, bruising several ribs. Thankfully I cut my stools flat so we had a painful laugh rather than a punctured lung to contend with!

    Woodland trees, some very large coppice, some maidens. I'll put the tape around some next week.

    Got a lot of big Ash to fell in next two months in South Suffolk if you wanted to come have a look?

    Excellent article. Fungi are amazing. Mind expanding and very entertaining podcast on mycology below for anyone interested. http://podcasts.joerogan.net/podcasts/paul-stamets

    Now there's an unfortunate turn of phrase!

    Eggs finds the 'art' in waiting for parts.

    I'm going with verb.

    Brought one back with me in my hand luggage. I snuck it through the 'nothing to declare' isle while they were frisking an old granny for murray mints.

    No, that's General Long Bong Suk. When he's sober they launch the nukes off the top of his hat.

    Just back from North Korea Rough Hewn. Apparently they had heard all about my considerable prowess in battle and I was headhunted to work on their top secret, hush hush missile program. I was a bit out of my depth if I'm honest. The very smiley generals said that they wanted to give the American oppressors their just deserts, so I filled up all of their steel warhead thingies with custard. Presumably this will achieve the desired effect? Anyhow, back in Blighty now and looking forward to exploring the splendid looking new forum.

    I think the steam coming out of his ears must be obscuring his calculator screen.

    Hmm, the plot thickens! Back to you Stumpy Grinder.

    Raydon Great Wood. I think it's possible you were just on the fringes, near the old railway line. Hillside Tabling or Greatwood Lodge maybe?
  24. the village idiot
    There are a handful Stumpy, tucked away on the fringes. I wonder Steve, could you hear a sawmill running from where you were working?

    I can quite imagine the scene Felix. [ATTACH]221730[/ATTACH]
