good compact looking birds very nice

i have no gamefowl now but previously i kept ginger reds and quite a few of my hens were spurred. I miss keeping them a lot but my circumstances have changed and i have not got the space to keep them as i would like. i enjoy looking at the pictures and comments that current owners put up and retain a keen interest . (any pictures albert 64 ?)

i like them gingers the cock has nice bronze tail feathers, do any of your hens come spurred ?

yes i remember the series well it was essential viewing for me fascinating to see and hear how these large kitchen gardens were run ,a snapshot of a bygone age and sad to hear that its gone to ruin .

i just bought a dog of the local blacksmith ,as soon as I got him home he made a bolt for the door .

i have a yen to keep gamefowl again but as i have neighbours now i think that the oxfords that i used to keep would be to noisy , my question is are the Asian fowl I;m particularly thinking of the ko shamo any less noisy ?

yep weils disease and liver fluke how have i managed to live this long . it was lovely and fresh peppery the trick is not to be shy with it put a good lot on a sandwich with a bit of nice cheddar .

iv'e just been for a walk down the fields to a spring that i know about and picked a nice bag full of watercress ,so its cheese and watercress sandwiches for tea .

odious little man ,imo

if the Scottish people truly want independence from Britain then of course they should have it , but the decision whichever way it goes has to stand for a reasonable period of time (a generation) . we can't have the nationalists coming out of the woodwork every time that they perceive a moment of vulnerability . its very divisive and not fair to the English or Scottish people .Personally I feel that we would all be better sticking together, but at the end of the day it is up to the people of Scotland to tell the politicians that they want to stick to the results of any vote which they may take

it's surprising how the most unlikely bred dogs can shock you with their latent hunting instinct , they can't perform like a purpose bred dog of course but it is often there .

that's what you want to see in a rugby match two good teams going at it ,a great game well done to both sides

the farm in question was up in the moorlands shallow soil about 12'' it had been plastered with manure the year before which i assume boosted the worm population hence the influx of moles, I was using the traps that the farmer had the scissor type maybe I would have been better with a different sort of trap .

this is a question for the professional trappers amongst us ,roughly what percentage of the traps that you set catch a mole . I've had reasonable success in my and other peoples gardens but was once asked to do some trapping for a farmer who had been struggling to catch in his traps , I set off with confidence that I would make a dent in the mole population and failed spectacularly I couldn't catch a one ,there were molehills everywhere but I just couldn't catch the little buggers .

two nice dogs i particularly like the bedlington type .
