    so what exactly would a nuisance be to permit works to a TPO tree without application ? some owners may interpret this as " right to light " for example but i doubt that it gives any one right to carry out works without approval ...
  2. devon TWiG
    surely you can't just go ahead and do the work though ? would an application be required and justification for work ( unless immediate danger ) ..
  3. devon TWiG
    not deer though ...unfortunately ...

    I am a bit bewildered not only by the seemingly light punishment ...but by the fact a " labourer" was sent to fell tree ! does he have necessary certs etc etc ...as Goshawks nest in large trees not shrubs !!
  5. devon TWiG
    Just because it has a TPO does not mean it can't be felled , you need to seek permission stating reasons / justification , a report from a tree specialist would help in this scenario .

    the tyres were poor in those days ...compared to today...

    any one felling a tree this time of year should check for nests ( in tree or where it will land ) as the report says it is huge and very hard to miss ...most probably owner would of been informed of it's presence !!

    that is very odd !! I own some woodland and a Goshawk has nested in there in the past ( in a neighbours woodland more recently ) and I was informed that no forestry operations are permitted within 400 metres , which effectively made my own land out of bounds for 4-5 months , which displeased me greatly !! I was strongly advised by local raptor group ( bird of prey spotters ) and police wildlife officer about the severity of offence if i was to even disturb it , let alone deliberately fell tree with nest in !!!

    nowadays everyone ( almost ) is encouraged to be sensitive and thoughtful and care about everything and everyone which is mostly positive but makes people easily upset and in a way " soft " ( not a criticism )

    are they fetching a better price and selling well ?? had a few nice big ones a couple of weeks ago ...my lovely other half did Crab Mac ( Nigellas recipe ) was really , really nice 😋

    I just remembered the cladding is Elm as well !! I have used old engine oil to paint / treat timber with and it is a lovely colour when first done . if done when it is dry it soaks in well so as not to be messy to touch ...
  13. devon TWiG
    These are very old Elm , there were screws for a Cider press but have been in this barn for many decades now !!
  14. devon TWiG
    pretty sure that is Start point / Hallsands ...lovely area !! I dive there occasionally ...scallops , razor clams , crabs and fish ....only on neap tides though or may end up miles offshore in the current !!

    I think people declare themselves as woke ...not a label imposed upon them by others .....
  16. devon TWiG
    I think that is Roundydendron 😁
  17. devon TWiG
    very true ..labour used to represent the working class ...just about every working class person now bloody hates the ridiculous lefty nonsense ( woke stuff ) and would never vote for a party so aligned with such rubbish !!! Boris will be a tough man to beat !!!
  18. devon TWiG
    well said ..so many bleat about terrible contractors but there are plenty of just bloody awkward customers !!!
  19. devon TWiG
    I have had a few examples recently where neither the Council ( highways ) or owner admits ownership of road side trees , because they are large Ash with ADB which is an awkward situation and I am sure will keep cropping up !!
  20. devon TWiG
    I have one ...not used for towing , just tools and a bit of dragging on occasion , use it for leisure stuff a lot , kayaks , diving gear etc very practical vehicle ....was after a Hi Lux but so many were high mileage , worked hard and overpriced and few and far between locally , many L200's about that have had easy life !! . .
  21. devon TWiG
    obviously not the UK..... look at the sky !!!!!!!
  22. devon TWiG
    the ramblers will love you !!!!😂
  23. devon TWiG
    not lighting woodburner recently , got plenty of dry wood , weather bloody wet and cool here and generally horrible !! went for my first dive of the year this week ( much later than usual ) not a pleasant experience but enjoyed scallops and crab ......
  24. devon TWiG
    lawsons ...for sure ..especially the way the trunk divides half way up , very distinctive for lawsons , as well as the foliage and general form ..
