The plantation you see on the right is being thinned in the spring. There will be harvesters and forwarders in and out , maybe they will flatten it out when it’s a bit drier . 

It's ok mate he's on nicotine depravation/withdrawal.

Even one week of that here if be happy.

This is all we seem to be getting for a while.

Although that cold would probably wipe 50% of the population out here lol.

I looked at the beaters having lunch on the last shoot date , the banter was brilliant. I swear if you filmed it and broadcast it it would be more entertaining than any of the sh@t on at the moment. They were talking about all the wind ups and sh@t they got up to . Kids nowadays are too interested in video games . Some of the young lads there were pissing themselves, I said make the most of this because if the weather turns cold it might be the last time you get to hear stories like this .

Far too wet here for snow

Don't get here much either, maybe a day or two with a thin blanket on the ground

I hate seal skin socks

I hate wet cold feet more, not something I would wear as an everyday sock, but when it’s like this I need every edge I can get, as even the footpaths are knee deep in water,

This is more like it a cracking day. Did this road hedge today very disappointing really only four and young ones already didn't help, looks better than it was there in the hedge the other side of the road I think. Still it was a pleasure to be out there great to be alive day.

This is taking the piss now never known a year as wet as this one. Feel sorry for all people flooded out and more rain to come.

I know Billy Connolly said there is no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing. Well f**k if I'm going out to suffer with rain running out my ass for enjoyment. I spent years in construction shovelling concret etc come home like a drowned rat but that was to earn a crust. What a crap season its been weather wise.

Cheers Arry
