I had something similar a couple of years ago - finshed work and met wife in Windsor. Had a couple of hours spare so thought we would go round castle. Only when emptied pocket for security guard and realised I had my lock knife which I use at work. Security guard gave me a few words of...

Thanks for posting the photos - As I lad I visited this on several occasions as was raised only a couple of miles away. Havnt been back for more than 23 years. Glad its not been touched or developed on. Nick

Try the Silky Pocketboy - not the cheapest saw on the market but most tree surgeon love Silky saws. Ravor sharp and leave a nice finish. Nick

Fair comments - but this animal was already tame. The fox was only offered food after it came to me. I would also point out that when I noticed it the fox was within 10 feet of me working so was not bothered by large machinery ripping out a tree stump. I can understand the problems in...

While working in a garden the other morning - I suddenly realized I was being watched by a fox. After a couple of minutes I moved away from the machine and the fox appeared. I have never come across a wild animal as tame. The customer supplied a cup of tea and as a sat and ate my sandwich the...

Cheese As a kid I thought I would show of to some mates while camping and tried to make a meal my mother had just taught me - Macaroni cheese. Total disaster turned into pasta with white sauce :eek: with lumps of cheese in it - Would have helped If i had taken grated cheese.

As an ex-vegetarian (ten years without even sniffing bacon) I would recommend everybody gives it a try (maybe only a couple of weeks). That first mixed grill was fantastic and you will realise what you have been missing. Also why do vegetarians produce so much gas :o if the human gut...

Looks good to me. Can you put me on the list and I will arrange to send a cheque.# Cheers Nick

Have you tried the one handed version that falconers use. It is designed to be used when you have a bird of prey on your glove. I found it easy (picked it up in about 30 seconds). Never bothered with Evenk version. http://www.bcfalconry.ca/info/falconers_knot.pdf nick

The only person I have heard trapping them was a local angler. He told me you need a permit (I think from the Environment Agency)? Not sure if he was just trying to put me off. I have seen traps advertised will try to find a link. Nick

Cones will help with a positive i.d. but dont assume its the only identifier. You need to look at the needle etc. Quite a few conifers have similar attributes. When a book only gives a common name it is difficult to get a positive match as often similar names are often used in different...

Yes it is a badly pruned :( Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus). You can tell by he lime green buds. Dont waste your time collecting sap it as its not the same thing as the Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum). Get professional advise. Nick

I also have a Thyroid problem so have tried to find the same solution for some time - Something I discovered was that Pre-Mac (all Pre-Mac filter use iodine) offer a Outlet Filter which removes the Iodine. It does mean that you have to filter everything twice but I tend to use it only on...

I agree this is one of the best book around for winter Identification. Winter identification can be as simple as a different shaped bud or leaf scars. I always have my copy in the van. Nick
