Morning all, Day started with dog crapping in the kitchen. MEWP today to crown raise a lime and trim side of stupidly tall conny hedge.

Morning all, Another fine day ahead. Stay safe.

Morning all, Beautiful blue sky again. Enjoyable climbing yesterday, recuperation today - harrowing some grassland and maybe repaint wife’s shed. Enjoy the weather.

Morning all, Light frost and a glorious day ahead. Have a good un.

Morning all, Nice daylight evenings ahead.

Morning all, Yet another fine day looming. Clearing up copious scarifyings after yesterday’s attack on the lawn.

I have recently added the flatbed with forks option. Proving really useful. I bought mine via Fresh Products but you can deal direct with Mucktruck. Built in Cornwall. WhatsApp Video 2025-02-03 at 14.50.36.mp4

Sometimes I have to remind myself when I see a frailer older person that they were once a baby then a toddler, teenager, young adult etc. Time and tide wait for no man (or woman or person).

I am 65 now, and knee replacement last November. Very grateful to have had a fantastic result from it. Lots of other joint aches too. Working in the day they ease off, just stiffen up in the evening. Use it or lose it. I use a good young lad for climbing jobs that are day long, as shoulders don't like a full day trying to pull branches through the crown then throw them over it to avoid getting hung up! Still happy to climb within my limits, as Mick implies groundie work is tough or tougher. If machinery can help I use it, have invested in a good tracked mewp and sub myself to a couple of other teams. Experience and cunning compensate for the ageing body, as does being able to choose what job you do on what day.

Morning all, Drizzle going, sun coming. Garden work at home, moving woodchip with power barrow to borders. Oh, some aspects of that sound like work. Enjoy whatever you’re doing, unless it is working on a mixed pyracantha and blackthorn hedge with hand tools.

Morning all, Another fine day it would appear. Enjoy

Morning all, Mist already being burnt off by the sun, looking good. A day of epicormic removals today, as we spent yesterday on logs. Have a good day y’all.

Morning all, Grey and drizzly. Think we’ll start with chain sharpening and log cutting, then if it clear up do some local lime epicormics.

Yes, my RC3001 was supplied with the big yellow one. It does make the standard 5,000kg ones look a bit whimpish.

Morning all, Frosty start to a warmer day. Deadwooding a sycamore then maybe strip and kill ivy at ground level on several trees.
