  1. Morning all, More odds and sods today. Log processing in the barn once it gets hot.
  2. Morning all, Odds and sods day today. Wonderful weather again.
  3. Simpler method is park facing up hill, drop the tailboard and then drive forwards suddenly. They say necessity is the mother of invention.
  4. I did similar a few days ago to stop the trolley jack rolling around the load bed. Note the lazy man's tool for pulling it out. Unfortunately I didn't have yew or walnut to make the box with, hence use of plywood offcuts.
  5. Morning all, Yet more blue sky. A restful day today. Brought back some nice firewood yesterday. Enjoy the day.
  6. Morning all, Off to Nottingham to section down three nice sycamore stems and bring back some good firewood for the stoves. Have a good weekend.
  7. Morning all, Another sunny day. Day off today, working tomorrow.
  8. Morning all, Dry day here, but processing logs mainly. None of the jobs booked in at present are for right now. Less requests for quotes at present, any one found this?
  9. In the winter of 78/79 when I was living with parents for my first two years at university we had a prolonged cold spell, and snow hung around. I used my mother's 848cc Renault 6 to drive the 10 miles from home. For several days the battery was too tired to start it after a day outside. No problem - starting handle through hole in bumper, choke applied, crank it over, started first attempt every time. No ECU to worry about either😀
  10. Morning all, Rain overnight, gone, now, should be dry today. Annual trim on a couple of very large conifer bushes using mewp.
  11. Morning all, Away until tomorrow then just two days to work in the week, then a full day Saturday.
  12. Morning all, Not working till Wednesday. Hope I don’t seize up due to lack of use.
  13. Morning all, Another blue sky today. Wife gone to a 10k run, I’ll have brunch ready when she gets back.
  14. Morning all, Lazy day with family. Have a good weekend.
  15. Morning all, Bit of work in the garden first, then daughter and son in law here for a couple of days. Have a good Easter.
  16. Morning all, Rain gone, sun back. Telescopic pruning an overhanging willow today, due to lack off access on owners side. House boarded up, but not going to take liberties.
  17. Morning all, Rain here. Day pottering in shed.
  18. Morning all, Rain overnight here too. Overcast but dry hopefully. Finishing off yesterday’s lime lopping.
  19. Morning all, Slight frost here. Using mewp to take crown off a lime today, in a farmyard. The farmer does not believe in standing on the forks of the load all with a chainsaw. Wise man.
  20. Morning all, As Doug says, rain is coming. Let’s hope it doesn’t outstay its welcome.
  21. The farm shop along the road from us sells "Farm Reared Beef". I thought it grew in polystyrene trays in fridges.
  22. Morning all, Dead wooding a sweet chestnut this morning then in the garden at home. Have a good weekend.
  23. Morning all, Semi lazy day at home for me today. Hopefully be allowed to spend some time setting mewp up repeatedly to see if leg sensor problem properly sorted.
  24. Morning all, Looking at a small job, then flail mowing, then two more jobs to look at. Last one is large tree to fell, exit through pedestrian door of rear of garage. Sounds like a case for difficult extraction surcharge if ever there was one.
