    Yesterday afternoon in the blazing sunshine I decided to go and check my trail cams to see what the roe buck activity was looking like. Took my kral np02 for the walk. After checking the cams I decided to sit in my favourite part of the farm which is a very old, very little used "dingley dale" old run down farmhouse, lots of very old oak and ash trees. It was as very cool and quiet down there with only sounds being the long tailed tits and the small stream. So I decided that although it was too early, and far too hot for the rabbits to come out there were plenty of pigeons flying in

    Friend of ours grew this triffid from a seed that was given. It produced rediculously.

    I believe that still to be the case. Certainly was around ten years ago. My son found a dead one near avonmouth docks also, but that was probably about fifteen years ago now.

    There are still small colonies of rattus rattus in Liverpool, Bristol and east end docks, all watched very closely by the ministry.

    If they've been working while this has been going on they have been earning "to survive" they don't need to be greedy and scab off the government , more importantly the tax payer. ?

    Got mine in four days. Personally I would rather have been working and earnt a lot more but I can't take the risk. Boils my piss though knowing blokes who have worked throughout and still claimed it.

    I hear Somerset or Wales or Scotland are far better than Cornwall, dirty place rammed with holiday makers.

    Neats foot oil will do it.

    It's that time of year again. We lost our only gosling that hatched yesterday to either a stoat or a weasel. Last night / this morning a fox had one of our hens that is an escapologist. She had got out and paid the price.

    Very nicely done! Well done on a great job.

    List everything last night to the sudden hard frost, pretty gutted really as we were so pleased with what we have achieved during lockdown. So, start all over again. Happy days.

    Just candles the eggs in the incubator, still looking like all of them are good. Just literally done this lot up , ought to be selling them not pickling them but I do like them with a pint of scrumpy and a pork pie in the winter.

    We candled the eggs last night that came from four different sellers on the bay. At the moment it looks like all of them are fertile. Obviously early days and all that. Dozen duck eggs should hatch tomorrow or the next day that are sat on. Goose has at least eleven under her, they are due around the 17th. Going to be a lot of mouths to feed round here soon.

    Funny enough that's the first thing one of my mates came out with ?

    Just finished this! Reasonably happy with it.

    Two gallons of turbo started today. Works out at £2.20 a gallon.

    No I should just have used the stencil while the leather was dead flat, wetted it before stenciling.

    I find leather working soul-destroying and incredibly satisfying in equal measure. I am in the middle of making a wrist protector for archery at the moment. It was going great, then I tried something new using a stencil, that's when it went south. Back to the drawing board

    The cider and eater orchards are looking really good, the pears and plums too so hopefully we won't get a late frost and lose nearly everything like last year. All the fruit bushes are looking fairly promising, particularly the blueberries and currants. Fingers crossed now for a bountiful summer.

    We bought our smallholding with the intention of cutting back on our work and living a simpler healthier life. As all good intentions they've only been sort of achieved, and generally the place seems more of a bind. Well the last five weeks have really given us the impetus to crack on and start doing things while we can. Looking around me now I can't believe how much we have achieved, the place is tidy, the hedges are cut back, the stock fencing is in tact. The raised beds are all deep dig and rotavated, the green house is full of seedlings and in it goes. Polytunnel needs finishing in th

    Very artistic ?

    As they have been through the postal service we don't generally expect as good a hatch rate as if they were our own or picked up by us. Still I would be hoping for minimum of 70%. I'm hoping to hatch a couple of dozen guinea fowl this year too, we won't be doing pure meat birds this year as I expect a very wet winter again , that's no good for heavy fowl with short legs because of the mud.
