  1. In 1975 I was letting out motor boats and rowing boat to the grockles (holiday makers) on the harbour at Paignton. This lovely girl came along in the late afternoon selling the local paper. She asked me if I would like to buy a paper I replied no thank you but I would like a date for Friday night. She replied no chance all my work mates and some boat boys all laughed and took the piss out of me. So I bet them all a fiver I would get that date. I went up to the red box where all the papers were stored and she would stand and gave it some charm. I got the date for Friday night, she was 16 I was

    Coin Cutting

    Just had a quick read on a site. Now that in a nice find, I particularly like the fact it has a Hare carved into it. Something special about the Hare and how its sort of its worshiped or revered. 1500-Year-Old Roman Ring with a Tiny Hare Was Discovered at Hadrian’s Wall in Britain and It’s Absolutely Stunning. WWW.THEARCHAEOLOGIST.ORG I want to do the dinners hares in a coin but going to be very hard. Cheers Arry

  16. Been ferreting all my life Bob always leave some. When I was a kid number were very low four of us would go out all day for a brace and take in turns to have a rabbit. Seen numbers rise and fall, some of the best numbers down here were just before RHD hit. My father told me there were hundreds when he was younger before Mixie hit. So rabbit numbers can rise and fall dramatically but they always seem to come back. Now patchy, theres few more on the other side of that permission. Some of my other permissions are dead while others not bad. We are only two handed and both in our 70's so a mor

    old girl

    I know it's always sad in a way. But it was the best thing, She was nearly blind hardly had a tooth left and was fading away like so many do in old age. She was the most gentle ferret I ever had you could let a baby play with her never ever nipped anybody. Cheers Arry

I will carry on as long as I can but it doe

  23. We only did two hedges in that field and left the other two which have a few in. I get where your coming from Bob but its not us that cleaning them out its RHD. I have other permissions that had a good head of rabbits end of last season on some the rabbits are gone compleatly. If I was a younger man maybe I could pack up for a season or two but I'm 74 mate, I don't know how much longer I have left. I like to get out in the fields and I think its use it or lose it.
