  1. Just spotted the first Hoopoe of the year working grubs out of the woodchip.
  2. A cold and bright start to the day here, heading up to Paris on the fast train for the weekend. Next week looks like the Spring is making a return with temperatures of 20 degrees, might finally get on with some work outdoors at my place.
  3. Like a hot knife through butter. 👍
  4. Straightforward removal of this Small Leaved Lime, shame really as it had a good pollard framework, unfortunately it was right where the drive extension is to be situated. Customer came out and asked if I could quarter up the stem. Apparently he is going to fix them into position in the four corners of one of the rooms for his expensive cats to climb on. Obviously I will be back next month to ring it all up.
  5. Frankly, I don’t give a **************** what you think. Mark asked a question and I gave him the explanation, and the attack on the base has been ruled out by the Ministry of Defence to have originated from Iran.
  6. Gaza has been being flattened since 1948, not 7th October.
  7. The RAF base is known as the UK’s ‘Genocide base’ as it is has been used to enable the flattening of Gaza. The reports I read where three drones where fired from Lebanon, two where destroyed, one caused minor damage.
  8. Only had a morning felling with one, fantastic saw forestry saw, especially for softwood, light and rapid, recon it would be excellent logging back in the tree too. Got one on order, the standard one is on the shelf but the XpG isn’t available just yet, I’ll wait, like you, I am not short on saws. 👍
  9. Looks like Elm to me.
  10. But has it got a centrifugal clutch?
  11. Yeah, nice lady, lashings of tea and bacon butties, tits like donkeys ears.
  12. One of the guys using my Stihl secateurs on these two Lime trees, done on the second battery. If you were using traditional secateurs on these you wouldn’t cracking one out for a while.
  13. I was due to fell this Pine a few weeks back, but due to the wet weather access has been impossible. Had a cracking couple of days of sun so I shuffled jobs around hoping to get it down before the pine processionary caterpillars started to descend. Got there and the bar stewards had started to move so it was out with the blow torch. Felled, then the nests cut off and burned before the rest went through the chipper.
