    Miserable day to be feeding the flying chickens, the state of it up here I could do with swapping them for ducks
  2. Stavross
    Pork choppy things tonight

    I wouldn’t of put these in if they’d be sitting in wet soil but with it being built up and the soil is from next to the river Tees so it’s really good quality and free draining, they should be fine

    No fish in it yet, I’m trying to convince them not to put koi in it, it would be perfect for trout, it goes from 6” at one end to almost 7’ deep at the other and it’s got a constant fresh water inlet, it would be criminal not to put trout in it

    That will do for today, she’s ordered 5 per meter so I’ve got a few left because that’s too many with the laurel, she’s also asked if we’ll plant the pond up that we did for them, of course we will, so I’ll now be on YouTube because I’ve made a few ponds but never planted one

    Best time of year to do it, they are being planted on built up ground as well so their feet won’t be too wet over winter, a couple of years ago they got a grant to make a small woodland, they wanted us to do it but had to have someone like natural England to do it, they did it in late spring, 90% are dead, where as the hedge I planted for them in the November is now 3’ high and ready to be cut back I did this one 3 years ago same time of year and never had to replace any

    Yep

    Been well stitched up today, was asked could I spare a day to plant a few things, turns out it’s 500 cherry laurel and a dozen trees, don’t think I’ll get it all done in a day

    Big old chicken dinner today, think I’m going to struggle to keep my eyes open for the snooker this afternoon

    My twin brother does that, he works his way around the plate keeping his favourite thing on the plate until last

    I have a family member that can’t have any food touching on a plate, so her fella genuinely uses one of these at home, a couple of years ago we went to a restaurant with them and she picked what she wanted to eat by working out how she could move everything around the plate so it wouldn’t touch needless to say we don’t go out with them much these days

    For me, sea bass with a ratatouille for Mrs Stav, sea bass with creamed new spuds and leeks

    Nobheads, they will of paid 35 quid each to get in there, so they are funding what they are against
  14. Stavross
    I can’t be doing with my veg floating around the plate, Mrs went back in the kitchen to get more for hers
  15. Stavross
    Mrs Stavs mates with us tonight so I did them a little chicken dinner
  16. Stavross
    Cod with chorizo panko breadcrumbs, hasselbacks and griddled asparagus tonight
  17. Stavross
    Job done, not the prettiest of finishes but it looks a lot better than it did
  18. Stavross
    Sorry to hear about your dad, it’s a terrible thing to lose a parent, my thoughts are with you and your family

    Another mushroom ragu but this time with some garlic bread

    This isn’t the full job, it’s £1400 for us to put the main in the house and reinstate everything, then the plumber has about half a day running the copper in from the alkathene, then the joiner has got some boxing in and the floor to repair, the bill is over 4 grand, moral of the story is, never ring a plumber if your leak is on the main
  21. Stavross
    Pipe in and backfilled, back tomorrow to concrete inside the house and reinstate the path, can’t do it today because we’ve put 2 days in for this and I’ve just seen the plumbers quote so we’ll be definitely taking 2 days out of it
  22. Stavross
    Back at it today, water main into a house, apparently plumbers don’t dig holes
  23. Stavross
    Proper butchers pork chops, colcannon and tender stem, it was very nice

    It was my third day yesterday and it was a belter despite the rain, had my mate up from Lincolnshire and a few guests that were described to me as “ proper shooting men “ so the pressure was on for me and my apprentice to put on a good show, and I think we managed it, now I always play the day down to them to try and manage expectations, but in my head I had two drives that would make the day, first drive ( tip drive ) was unbelievable, they get no shooting until we turn the drive towards the end and then it went mental, at one point it sounded like everyone pulled the trigger at the same time

    Roast beef again today
