I don't know where you live but railway people travel long distances to go where the work is there has been masses of OHL work on the cross rail project in the Shenfield area, also age is another factor if your young the apprenticeship scheme is a good starting point or some of the youngsters use what is known as the graduation scheme all the information will be on the Network Rail website and there are multitudes of contract companies out there as well. if you get a start on the overheads they train you up as you go along I used to operate and control Road Railers for them it's a tough

I've done 18 years which is nothing in Railway terms my colleague has done 45 years still going strong he's retiring in 18 months they say if you stay for five years your here for life, I love the job it's a way of life good banter out in the fresh air and countryside the public don't get access to, it's changed massively in my time we only used to wear hi-vis vests when I started now head to toe in orange and if I started going on about the paperwork just to access the track I would be here all day.

My favourite jacket I've had the best part of ten years and still looks good is my Barbour endurance it's not the wax type I've never been cold or wet in it. I also own a Belstaff Trialmaster jacket in antique gold colour because I thought Charly Boorman looked cool in it in long way down I wear it occasionally when I go out on my Motorcycle but if I was honest I don't really like it. Boots I have a pair of Barbours and a pair of Ben Sherman's but my favourites are a pair of wranglers I bought years ago. The thought of spending £180 on a pair of Levi's would break my heart , I

Makes my operation look small fry you've got some graft to come there but upgrading your equipment will make it much easier. I done exactly the same Sunday night chimnea BBQ Cider in the garden, are the trees expensive I might sacrifice some of the large bushes in my garden and replace with a couple of good trees.

Would never have guessed that was a fig my first thoughts was passion fruit.

It's only a 9 litre one and it's well and truly paid for itself I have anchor bolted it to my patio and use a scaffold pole to squeeze every last drop out keeps me fit lol. Always keeping my eye open for a cross beam one but I like a bargain one will pop up eventually.

Pressed the Pear pulp today got just about ten pints, it tasted and smelt good enough to eat here's a couple of pics. Mole trapper sorry for Hijacking your scratter thread but there seems to be no dedicated Cider thread this year anybody else making any or did you all die from alcoholism last year ??

Well had a busy day today 9 Gallons of Cider OG of 1055 not bad I suppose and I've got a bucket of Pear pulp which I'm going to press tomorrow about a gallon I read it's good practice to leave it 24 hours to let it oxidise and it aids it when clearing apparently. 8am this morning just starting. All chopped ready for the production line lol. Tree shredder does the business yet again. The juice pressed now to make the magic happen. Will stick a pic of the perry up tomorrow to compare with the Cider.
