Hi Chris

Yamaha 500LC B288CML there worth loads now

my 2a/3 cross over swb Landy

& me HW77 carbine

it was either bikes or cars for me so bike till I was 22, if Id gone down the car road so to speak ALWAYS wanted a 1.3Super sport or XR2.

What a great weekend, good weather, good to catch up with the Hedgesparrow, and have a good yarn over the weekend, about this n that, many thanks.

Ok well a little strange taking a Landy loaded with bundles of hazel to a show crowbaring holes sticking it in then cutting n laying it all , out of season & in the slowest possible time you can over 2 days.

good job people did stop n chat other wise could have bee a bit . but we were ready for the masses to quiz us

checked the weather on weather school best site for weather. tonight early sat light rain clearing away to leave rest of weekend sunny monday 20c but with a bit of wind. if you see a nissan navara with a large bundle of brash and binders hanging out of back going west on m27 it will be me saturday lunchtime.

thinking bank holiday not a good idea will take back roads in. hope to see a few of you there

Mate recons he's Seen ya !! thought you said your be in Nissan

Saturday Morning any one see a Landy camoflaged with a mass of hazel strapped to the roof between Dorchester & Netley Marsh, "you annt seen me right " The Fast Show.. happy tv days

Hope the weather holds and should be a good 1.

as Hedgesparrow said be good to catch a few of you if your there,

not sure on set up or lay out till were there, look for the Dorset flag:thumbup1:

now bound to be about 20 there

enjoy weather cul

Ive a 655 you can have for £100 collected, 2 comercial used seasons old,(but be lucky to have done a yr at most)

Had all the mod's need to keep the bloody blades conected to the rest of the mower + some

WHEN its working very good cut.

Can see why its green rather than orange and dont have Stihl down the side of it

Went back to my 7yr old Hayter ranger 3in1

Am I alone in thinking that a streak of blacktop throgh the countryside is aesthetically offensive? It could have been toned down a little with some white shingle rolled into the top layer.

Get some white lines down the middle and some double yellow down the sides, couple of sets of lights at the tunnels

Well for a hedger this was a good read, as Im in almost the same situation.

theres no TPO and was told I will JUST need to fill out a form, to inform council (Dorset) of what I/we wish to do. of which I have in front of me

this was from West Dorset District Council 2 weeks ago

Just to add to the application & notification debate

the title being

Application for tree works..

Works to trees subject to a tree preservation order(tpo) and/or notification of proposed work to trees in a conservation area.

[/color]Town & planning act 1990

the owners want the work doing just not yet, later in the summer, so not submitting it just yet in case thing change

you havent got time for that .....

can we camp at this thing @weekend????????

getting ear ache from the boss wanting to know.

But also dont realy want to be doing 4 trips give us bell after 6 on home number:001_smile:

Well sorry been a little while since Ive been here,

come the lighter evenings (wont say spring/summer as thats not here yet) tend to scratch about doing other things.

Well grass cutting, this last week Ive seen a bit of a spurt, but also just seen Countryfile weather forecast. Possible - temps at night and frost, did I see/hear that correctly ???

But it has to be cut or it will be like last year. Put it of put it of due to being so wet, next thing on that 1 dry afternoon you then have a jungle to cut.

All what I said about stopping hedging end of March had a call to request some more about 2 weeks ago, went and had a look , not even a bud on it so down it went. The hedges round here have started to get some small leaf, but we still got more leaves left from last on the trees, than new ones for this year.



But dispite all the above

job finally cleared up and all sorted paid and left sight

at least payment was there, normaly its at this point you hear,many thanks can you pop back later and Ill square you up or ll forward cheque later

Many thanks replys,

all sorted, pending acceptance of price for job.

Not mine,the land owners.

Dispite normaly knocking the hedging on the head end of March, nothing realy come into bud yet and no birdies nesting so did some more laying

had to lay willow on Island & cut n clear willow grown out into pond/lake

little different to the morn. also did usual trick forgot before n after pictures just the during pic

Just been to see a job, need to sort out couple of things but, will be in need of climber, please
