some great pointers here - many thanks!! ah cleavers, i must have thrown away 1/2 ton just a few weeks ago - didnt even think to do something with it!! as for nettle, my all time favourite herb/weed ... make everything from cordage to soup to beer with it!! seeds are protein packed too and taste...

i deliberatly want this part of the kitchen garden to go quite wild ... ive found how tough oregano is ... and drought tolerant too!

may not be cooking, but youll be cooked after a few!!

yeah thats a good shout on the tent ... i had similar worries with mine. soon found after a few tarp camps with the tether that she just wanted to be where i was. this being said, im a heavy sleeper so she may be up to god-knows-what during the night ...

looks like a cracking night would have been had - and a very bonny dog too. i often do this with my dog (also a working dog), and i find its actually helped her remain steadier in the field as she has gotten older. great to see them on high alert even if shes not retreiving/flushing, but just...

cracking little spot and hopefully something harvested for the pot too? not the lamb chops ;)

The garden is absolutely abundant this year since I installed a zonal drip irrigation system, with the usual veggies - spuds, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, chillis, garlic (so much garlic!!), beets, leeks, onions, corn, salad leaves of all kinds, broad beans, peas, brassicas, corguettes, squash...

Yes i did - this is what i will be doing. mostly good reviews on trust pilot though which seems a bit odd unless these are fake reviews.

Does anyone know if this shop is still operating? Ordered a camping grill over 11 days ago - quick enough to take the money, no answer on email or phone. Will look to open a dispute with the bank - only a 60 quid order, but principle etc.

Dont actually need a warrant in the UK - this seems like some kind of urban myth propogated from US TV shows ... had this from a family lawyer friend. There are of course grounds that require an officer of the law to enter a house, and this includes suspicion of ANY violent crime, suspicion of...

Coming from a farming family, I see this both way. The amount of damage, cost, and ultimatly liability that many landowners face due to incidents caused by members of the public (some with good intention, others with not), puts huge strain on already struggling farms. This being said, access...

this tobacco blend sounds delicious - will order some.

love this pipe pouch/roll - i need something similar!

Hi Chris, i found i was either over tamping or under tamping the tobacco. i have tried every method known to man, 3-pinch method, letting it sit a while, rotating the pipe under my thumb to get the tobacco to connect. I must be honest, i didnt find much of it to be helpful. However, i seem to...

You wont regret it Chris. Currently on a jack up vessel in japan with a tin of the stuff, and the locals are hovering around me like flies on the proverbial. They never see a bearded english pipe smoker, and have never smelt something so good!!

This is brilliant, was considering doing something similar with some rod ive got in the shed. Did you lathe the copper bar to slide over the rod?

Loved this thread - so resurrecting. After a several year hiatus from messing around in woods (kids eh!), i recently returned with a vengeance. In the meantime i have been shooting on our farm with a few of the old boys, most of which are avid pipe smokers. So, as recently as the last few months...

ha yes - exactly this!! interestingly we have a load of jackdaws nesting in one of our barns, and despite the road being about 100m away, we find a lot of retrieved road kill being dragged inside. Another reason to keep their numbers in check.

thanks all - some good info here. will get my google on and look for the book. Pigeon curry! never considered it!! crow however, i have a problem shooting ... they look through my soul!! other corvids i have no issue dealing with, but crow - its like they know many things we dont ...

ha ha always worth going for the left and right then ...
