    Ok thanks Steve, been googling it a bit and seems no definitive answer regarding how to keep the purple nice and bright

    Couple big bits of Purpleheart getting made into window seats, mobile phone for scale.

    Many thanks Adw

    Millions of pounds of public money to pay for grey squirrel cull - Telegraph

    You can hire power barrows for a weekend, get everything cut and prepped ready for extraction then get it all out in day or so. You get high tip ones too so can empty straight into pickup or trailer

    Engelbert Strauss are ok trousers and think you'd get two pairs for £240. There's a review thread on them here somewhere. Not sure many trousers have sweatability rating though

    No, similar to old style sherried macallan though. Glenfarclas is another one worth trying

    If a Lanson trap is box propped up on roped stick and baited then I used to do that when a very young lad!
  9. Wood wasp
    Try Glendronach for a change, far better than Macallan these days.

    Just googled magpies protection status, seems you need a licence to control them. That surely needs looked at

    Our area used to all be shooting estates with keepers reducing the predators, not just foxes etc but crows, magpies and other nest raiders too. The keepers are long gone and any wildlife management these days is on increasing raptor numbers, I wonder if that contributes to decline of ground nesting birds too? Edit: the number of magpies around these days is remarkable

Can get wheeled ones too but have never worked with one of those.

    Ardmore is heavily peated, ones in supermarkets are young too and 46% from memory which takes getting used too. Try a wee splash of water. Penderyn is good stuff too and lovely people

    What about a powered barrow to get your wood out?

    'Twas Broon the bigot hunter who bailed out the banks although we will recoup money from shares eventually. The mind boggling public debt is something else altogether and without drastic change we (and your kids) will be paying for evermore. Anyway, you shouldn't derail your own thread with politics!

    I personally would be cautious about getting ecologist in as you could end up with all sorts of restrictions in place. You seem to have good idea of what you want to whilst keeping everything in balance, common sense goes a long way. Good luck and enjoy.

    It'll be Aberfeldy distillery, Dewar's is the blend which uses Aberfeldy as one of core malts. Good whisky Many years ago I was offered opportunity to work as Dewar's brand ambassador based in Boston, turned it down as they wanted me to wear a kilt all the time..They sponsored Playboy too in those days, maybe not my best decision!

    Even comes with half a load of logs

    He looks nice and relaxed Laphroaig cask strength bottling for myself. Arran is good whisky, bottled at 46%, unchilfiltered and no colouring added. The first two help with flavour substantially
  21. Wood wasp
    Good start to the year for you!
  22. Wood wasp
    I miss Peewits or Lapwings, they've dropped off in numbers too. As have curlews
  23. Wood wasp
    Thanks Tom but if I use dedicated arb site I'd be inclined to use Arbtrader as linked with this site
  24. Wood wasp
    Ok good tip Felix thanks, had it on Arbtrader few months ago but think there's more traffic to gumtree etc
  25. Wood wasp
    Ok thanks, have given gumtree a go and will see how works out. Splitter below should be ideal for Jon's big butts Log splitter 30 ton 2.2m/7ft 3" stroke, prepare timber for firewood processor | United Kingdom | Gumtree
