I am really irritated.
Mother decided she wanted the kids and I to go empty her dog.
No problems. Small dog. Cant hold very much.
Er.....
No. Wants me to go empty it in the woods.
In fact...
Wander about in the woods with the dog until it decides exactly the best place to empty itself.
My dogs were always a lot easier, but hey ho....Its Mums.

Drove to the forest, well, baby wood. Its barely a mile long and half a mile wide.
Got the kids and dog out. Thought about a lead...
Dogs 15, almost blind, can hear only if you shout "Dinner" at it from less than 10 feet, is only 9 inches tall, goes along at the sedately waddle of an overweight lapdog. ****su - I think.
So...not much point in the lead.
Kids....Hmmmm.....theres an Idea...lol I suppose not.

Wanders along this track, muttering at all the trees that have been hacked apart.
Looks like someone has given an axe a chainsaw, a knife and some dynamite to a four year old.
Trees hacked down and just left - including saplings, bits hacked off, saw one 2 ft thick trunk that had been ringbarked. Nasty.

There are a couple of really nice shelters deep in this woodland.
Ive got a feeling the local kids have seen them and tried to copy....
Looks like you start off by dragging over a sappling, then piling 2" sawn logs on it...
Oh and junk, but no leaves.
No Idea how they think these things will keep them warm.
Most of them are on top of a bank, in the wind coming off these fields...
Er....
Oooh, Found this!
No Idea what it is, but it looked pretty.
Someone was talking about making one of these up against a blown over trees rootball a few days ago.
Obviously, someone else had the same Idea, but didnt quite have enough skill.
Oh dear....

This one, which wasnt on top of the others seemed different....
Bits of leaves etc on track in.
Wouldnt have gone near it, but like all of these it is actually in the middle of a bridle path.
Sniffed it...Stank of rotten cabbage! No badgers anymore, been taken over by foxes, who arnt as house proud.

The excavations right in the middle of the bridle path.
Btw...These woods are at least 20 miles from my place.
Another oak trunk from the old wood that was hacked down to plant conifers.
The conifers...
Another victim...
They hacked down all the mature oaks, and left the babies.
As the conifers outgrew the baby oaks and blocked out the light....they all died.
