    Now that's a proper days graft . I couldn’t work at that height for a million quid ?

    Paulus has already said that they can both come back whenever they want . All they have to do is behave like grownups. ?

    Give it time buddy. Some stuff just takes longer.

    It looks like a calf to me .

    I think I'd be tempted to try one on the camp fire ?.

    Do you have rattlesnakes in your part of the country ?, and is it legal to kill and eat them ?.
  7. mel b
    Do you ever eat snake RS ?. I've always fancied trying rattlesnake.
  8. mel b
    You certainly put the graft in ?.

    I've never been a fan of corned beef stew , but I looked at that pic , and could have just eaten it ?. Funnily enough, It was my old man's favourite meal.
  10. mel b
    Yeah , but I'm looking at it , and thinking , I could just eat that ? .

    Very striking indeed mate . I've never seen one before. That garter snake was pretty impressive as well ?.

    Fantastic pics mack ?. That Finch is stunning. Where are you ?.

    I was far too polite to mention that ?. It's a real shame that were so restricted in this country , but once you dig a little deeper, it's very understandable why regs can sometimes seem quite strict. Some of the history of planning regs can be very interesting . I remember reading that in the past , a shed in a woodland, could sometimes be classed as a caravan. It was due to men coming home from war . Some of the returning soldiers had lost their homes and families ( bombing raids etc). And they could get a job on a farm , and live in a shed on the farm , and the shed could be cl

    Fat fecker is my normal ?. I come from a long line of fat feckers ?.
  15. mel b
    I'm a right fat fecker , and I can only see the last six inches of my dick these days?. I love a proper big breakfast , but it just makes me want to sleep ( not very good when you're driving a lorry ?), so all I have for breakfast is one slice of wholemeal toast ?.
  16. mel b
    You on a health kick DC ?.

    That's the problem. One tent will turn into two tents , then wooden sheds , then tin sheds , then a few concrete blocks , and in ten years , you've got a south American shanty Town, with no sewers or running water , no refuse collection , and all the trees cut down for firewood.

    Lab grown meat

    It'll always seem repulsive to us , but to the younger generation, it'll just be normal. I eat more game meat , than shop bought meat . Older people are mainly fine with it , but some younger people are really freaked out that I've killed something , then I eat it. Mind you , some young people can't wrap their head around the fact that I'll get up at 3am to go walking the fields with a gun. A few years ago at work , one of the guys pulled an apple from a tree , wiped it on his t shirt , and started to eat it . We were working with a young agency lad ( I'm guessing 19 yrs old ) , wh

    It's been a while since I did any real digging into woodland living , so things might be a bit different now. I can see why rules can be so tight at times . Its to avoid shanty Town springing up on any piece of land . Its to preserve the countryside for future generations , and it wouldn't take long for a couple of families to start causing pretty bad environmental damage( that could be damaging to other people) to a piece of woodland, if they weren't careful. On the other hand , we're running out of space in this country , and it'll get more and more difficult for local authoritie

    I've never really looked into this , to find out how it all works , but , just the thought of it makes me shudder. ?

    That's been done . Mainly by people that work in woodland ( making charcoal etc) , but it can't be a permanent structure ( you can't build it out of bricks and mortar) . It will also have a time restriction on its use . You can use it , then you can pass it on to your children . I'd guess that if your child could prove that they carried on the charcoal making business, its use could probably be extended to the following generations( but you might need to prove that it's a viable business).

    Some bits of woodland already have water , especially if the woodland has previously been used for grazing , and had been classed as grazing land ( mine had) . Composting toilets work very well , just as long as you don't mind the extra work involved . The starting point with woodland, is that you can stay on there for 28( you can get that increased) nights per year , but no more than 14 nights in one stay ( nobody really cares if you go a few days over). I've known guys that have lived in a caravan in woodland, and move it every so often , sometimes they get away with it , and som

    I had a good look at it , before I bought my woodland . I really fancy the idea of a log cabin in the woods , but theirs just no way that you can do it , and still live a relaxed life , without constantly waiting for someone from the council to turn up , and turn your life upside down.
  24. mel b
    Another way around things ( if you're happy with a mobile home ) , is buy several small plots of woodland , and move from plot to plot.
  25. mel b
    The only real ( legal) way to live in a house in the woods , is to buy a house that's already in woodland, or , buy a house with a few acres around it , and plant your own woodland, and wait. You can try to just buy a piece of woodland, then build your cabin and hope for the best , but , you can't make it a proper address ( with post code , services etc) . Some people just build something to live in , and as long as you get on with your neighbours, they probably wouldn't report you to the council , but , as soon as the council do get to hear about you , then you may as well just move.
