If it is any consolation there isn't a cat in Hells chance of me getting up there in the first place.

Had a transport report done now too by a different firm. In this they refer to the nearest Bus stop being near to a pub in the village. They name the pub but the trouble is they use an old name that hasn't been in use for about 3 years and from their map references they really mean the pub at the other end of the village with a completely different name. This report cost £2k and as far as I can tell was probably just done using Google. I think I will be a report writer when I grow up. Just write any old crap and charge a fortune for it.

Yew wood have to say what weevils you were sparying and how many hectors to get a defiant answer.

No mate it is not the end. You will be fine.

I would cut it too. It is the shaft for the saw after all, so may as well make it fit.

Yes you can buy shorter ones off the shelf, or off the internet I guess.

I have sharpened my Gomtaro today for about the 4th time, using a £6 feather edge diamond file off Amazon. I did it while stood in the orchard, it took about 15 minutes and it is as sharp as when it was new. Don't be fooled into thinking you can't sharpen the ones that are impulse hardened. You can, just don't go mental with the file. Anyone thinking you can't sharpen them and you have to throw them away, please throw them my way. I will pay postage plus the price of a pint.

If you are swinging it all day doesn't it make sense to get a hydraulic one? I have an old maul that I paid £17 donkeys years ago. Wasn't expensive but nor was it cheap back when I bought it (probably 25 years ago). Split an awful lot of logs with it but have not picked it up once since buying a hydraulic splitter. Swinging an axe all day might well keep you fit but it does wear you out, and I mean that literally.

That distance is about 6 inches. My loft is proof of that.

Christ on a bike!!

You need to be fit enough to have enough energy left to be able to play with your kids when you get home. Use that as a measure and you won't go far wrong.

Limes were second on the list?? Don't see it much in this area these days. There used to be a few old apple trees that I knew of with some in but the apple trees have gone now. I do know of a tree by Chester rugby ground with some in. If you go down the A49 heading south, as soon as you get past Shrewsbury there is loads of the stuff growing all over the place. Don't know if it has anything to do with the apple growing down there but there is certainly plenty about. Think I'm right in saying there's a mistletoe auction in Tenbury

You can get a 12v "on demand" pump for £50. That would fill the cistern and turn itself off. Just to depress you further, you can get time delay switches for £1 off ebay. Other than that, well done. I am planning a rainwater harvesting system at the moment, all very interesting stuff.

Thanks for the link, and for everyones replies. I would still like to hear from anybody that has actually done it, particularly re: the following
-
I have managed to propagate some. After placing hundreds if seeds in my apple trees (11 acres of them) I now have two trees with mistletoe growing. They take years to get going but romp away after that. Both success's were through rubbing a seed onto the bark at this time of year. My original seeds were from a random bunch bought at Xmas. Main reason I asked was because I would dearly love to hear from anyone that has propagated it, what sex was the resulting plant? ie. did it have berries or not. Here's two of mine, one male and one female.
-
Has anybody on here tried with any success?
-
Of course, they got the bit that mattered right as far as we are concerned. Was just asking through idle curiosity really.
-
That's what I thought. He said there were no newts so that's all I really wanted to hear.

The reason I was there last week was because it was my 50th birthday. I don't like birthdays much and didn't want to be sat in the UK feeling cold and miserable because I'm getting even older. I chose to spend it in a nice warm place fishing on a beach instead. I took my son to Adelaide and we drove off towards the Great Ocean Road. We spent that day fishing off some jetty nowhere in particular just chilling. No great catches to report but did manage a big banjo ray on a cheapo Shakespeare spinning rod.

I don't know much about these things but having had an ecology report done on some potential development land, the report mentions some Lawsons Cypress along one of the boundaries. These are 80'+ leylandii and possibly a hundred of them. What would you make of that mistake considering you just paid for this service? Or is it so insignificant I am being nit picking for even asking you? Just struck me as a bit odd to make the mistake, typo maybe.

I very much like the place but not sure that I would actually want to live there. I like it here as it goes. Nice to go over there and just be where there are no people for miles upon miles, I love that. Not that I am amongst people in the UK much, my nearest neighbour is a mile away and I see very few people each day. Doesn't suit everyone but it does me. Stayed on a station not a million miles from Clermont Qld. Nearest shop was 60 miles away, 40 of that was unsealed and when you got to the shop it was only a petrol station. No nipping out for a loaf there!
-
Ah yes, forgot about that one. I would be a multimillionaire if I didn't keep spending it on trips to Oz. Think I have been 6 times in 2.5 years.

The pics don't really do it justice tbh. It was ginormous!! The big piles of yellow stuff are chip, they were mountain sized piles. It was in Portland, South Australia last week. On Google Earth you can see the mountains of chip, there are 3 of them and each occupies about 5 acres, they are damned tall too.

Oh, forgot to say Good Luck.
