Plans for the Year Ahead

[William_Montgomery]

With 2025 coming into full swing, it's time to start figuring out what the plan is for the coming year.

This end, we may soon be able to add around half an acre(ish) to our current property. I'd like to use the land to add some sort of meat production to our set-up. That will take some planning and plenty of hard graft to get the land in order. I'll also be looking to build a workshop as soon as possible, so plenty to keep busy with.

What projects have you got lined up for the coming year? Anything we might find interesting?

Im moving permanently to the Iron Age.

Nothing specifically new but ongoing projects...

Build workshop, this required planning which I obtained last year.
Cut and stack about 20 cube of firewood down from the storms.
Add a few more crops to the veg garden.
Get back on top of the squirrels on both my woodlands.
Use the 303 more (not related to the squirrels).

That's a constant with me - the buzzards like the spoils. Agreed, the 303 is probably overkill

Demo of my current house and sticking a new one up in replacement of.

Current booked plans, more may be added: complete the coppicing and thinning for this season, Frome market, Hay festival, 4 weeks UK coastal trek (probably penultimate session), Knepp, Goodwood, 12 days staying in a croft on the Ardnamurchan, organising and delivering our bi-annual Habitats Symposium ...

Interspersed with woodland camps, more of Offa's Dyke, canoe trips, days out in the Westfield and, hopefully, more time on the Bonny.

2025 feels over all ready!

Really hope that goes well; certainly doesn't sound fun though

Hopefully i will have both hips done at the same time, then both knees done at the same time later in the year, figure the recovery pain can't be any worse than what im currently dealing with and at least it will decrease whereas at the moment, well it smarts a bit.

Yep, I'm married to the bionic women
Unfortunately, the missus can't handle morphine so was in more pain than necessary.

 

[HillBill]

Nothing fancy for me. Just to get my head down and crack on with making knives again. Grow stuff, eat well, and keep my health in check.

Ooh! forgot the knifemaking, primitive bow making, leatherwork, artwork (all admittedly to a very amateur standard ) ... I think I'm running out of time (life I mean).

Best of luck with that, hope it gets sorted asap. That's a hard thing to live with.

What artwork do you do?

 

[Broch]

What artwork do you do?

Mainly graphite pencil - sometimes a variety of pastel or paint media. I don't do enough consistently - typical jack of all trades, master of none

Don’t forget camping out with your mates! ;-)
