jimster68 123 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm going out next weekend for the last time this season, for some reason this season has been real hard work, season started slow with lots of mixy about,then the cover seemed to take forever to die back ,struggled to get into double figures most weeks .now the seasons nearly over and its like I've only just got going,hopefully we might get some early frost next year and less mixyx. Roll on next season , I can't wait already. Quote Link to post

Gaz6br 193 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 DONT GIVE UP TRUST ME !!!!! I've had ferrets 18 years now since the age of 12, one year I thought the same I got rid of all my gear, but I kept the ferrets. I missed just one season and I knew then I could never give it up so brought all new stuff I will never do that again. Gaz 4 Quote Link to post
