    Ace :thumbup: It just gets better! In that case woulldn't a 40k deposit get you a much better mortgage rate than a 20k deposit? I'd keep three months wages in cash for emergencies and use the rest to create as big a deposit as possible.

    I think its very impressive putting 20k together at a young age. Its surely not an investment but more a deposit on a house?

    Cheers Alec, Sounds good
  5. Two Acres
    Thanks Alec, so they told you the cheapest option?

    Glad to help From memory I believe its an organisation that offers the apple identification at Gressenhall. I think the project is to collect samples of as many examples of old apple varieties as possible before they disapear. Interesting project.

    The local museum to me, Gressenhall rural life museum, has an apple day every October. They have an identification tent where you can take apples to find out the variety. If you give them a call they'll most likely be able to put you in touch with someone that knows their stuff.

    Tell you what, how about buying a small wood, putting a shed in it and selling it on. I found a five acre conifer woodland for sale, near me, yesterday. It has a 'gingerbread house' in it (thats a pretty shed by thw way). The asking price is £100,000

    Excellent post that Alec Whats the fee structure with Investment Sense? Do they charge a percentage fee or by the hour?
  11. Two Acres
    Mine too. The Private Equity fund has been really good

    You could think about putting it into a fund. Have a look at companies like F&C and Fidelity. Potentially you could doubleyour money in five years. Youcould, however also lose perhaps 20%, all depends how comfortable you are with risk.

    Hi Ben, I'm near Norwich but would be very glad to take the wood if thats any help

    Heres an interesting website - Vote for Policies - Vote for policies, not personalities! You can make choices based on policies without knowing which party they belong to. Then the website tells you who you should be voting for. As you can see most folks are choosing Green when they pick on policy alone.

    I've checked with the neighbour and he reckons he planted the willow around eight or nine years ago. The rings aren't very distinct in my logs, but from what I can see I would say he's right. They're about 4 inches diameter. I also have a fair load of alder logs. Not burnt many yet but I have read in Vincent Thurkettles book that he rates alder as highly as ash (when both are properly seasoned and he only rates ash as 'good' not 'excellent').

    I'm currently burning no end of willow that my neighbour planted. Most of it, I'd guess, is around four inch diameter. What I'll do is ask the neighbour for you tomorrow , see if he remembers when he planted the trees. I'll also measure up some logs.

    Cheers John K, Appreciate that

    I agree with you on the fence Woodguy, mine is open. I have been disapointed however to discover a little plot of cannabis, tread in a dog poop and find someone has carved their initals in a tree I'm hoping that when I start working in it, and it looks a little less neglected, than maybe that will encourage other folks to look after it too.

    Thats interesting Sysiphus, Whats SWOG? I guess you found the Woodland Trust helpful? Any grants forthcoming or is it more advice thats useful?
  23. Two Acres
    Cheers for that Woodguy, Sounds like excellent advice to me

    Well, I have a plan slowly forming in my mind! I was planning on having them all out on the basis outlined in my previous post along with the thought that they really have no place in a British woodland. The alternative point of view is to leave some for the benefit of wildlife. I think I can safely remove most of them, then see whats left and decide from there.
  25. Two Acres
    i'll look forward to seeing the winter pics, much easier to see whats what in the winter. Sounds like you've got to clear some of that understory to get better access, then you'd be better able to make decisions. I've decided to go slow with mine and I'm suprised eveytime I go in there at themoment. Something new comes to light!
